Audi introduces first-ever digital rear-view mirror

Audi’s upcoming electric R8 e-tron supercar will come loaded with the latest luxury amenities and technological features, including a first for the automotive industry: a digital rear-view mirror.  

The 7-inch color AMOLED screen from Samsung will display a high-resolution, high-contrast picture, which will have the same high definition day and night. The carmaker is now considering adding other data to the display.

The screen is connected to an innocuous camera set up at the back of the vehicle, and the whole device will be able to display what's going on behind the car at a wider angle than with classic rear-view mirrors.
