Some Honda models have a camera on the right side mirror. When you use the right turn signal the camera is activated and displays on the same screen the backup camera uses. It’s an excellent feature.

Got a 2016 X4 a couple months ago and some of that stuff is already there. The mirrors are still there but there are cameras on all sides that can give you a 360 degree view on the Nav screen. HUD shows the current speed limit if you want based on front facing camera reading the speed limit signs. Works quite well except it it doesn't recognize the hours for school zones. Sides cameras warn if you are leaving your lane without signalling intent. Overall the systems work pretty well.

With all these gadgets can they add a feature that suggests that a driver get out of the left lane and stop blocking traffic?
