Hyundai Mobis has developed a camera monitor system that is designed to replace side-view mirrors in "future" vehicles, the company said Sunday.

A camera monitor system is a device that monitors the driving environment behind and next to the vehicle, and displays the information on real-time monitors located inside the car.

The system's monitors will be installed on the side of the steering wheel, above the right vent in front of the passenger seat, and where the rear-view mirror usually is.

The monitors can provide a clear image without distortions on a large screen compared to side-view mirrors, according to the auto parts maker.

The camera sensors installed in place of side-view mirrors will not only improve driving safety by reducing blind spots, but also increase fuel economy by reducing air resistance and eliminate wind noise thanks to its innovative design.

"The paradigm shift to future vehicles is demanding both functional and design upgrades of all core components, which have been taken for granted," said Gregory Baratoff, Hyundai Mobis' vice president for autonomous vehicles system development.

"The company will not only develop element technologies, such as sensors and solutions, but also upgrade its core parts portfolio that it has already secured in accordance with the future car era."
