> Backup cameras are mandatory, so you need an electronic pixel display somewhere. I wonder if regulations would allow for a sort of periscope system. (Not that it would be practical.) | ||

The specific regulation is here: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/part-571/section-571.1... Nor practical but an analog system could probably meet the standard. --- Rearview image means a visual image, detected by means of a single source, of the area directly behind a vehicle that is provided in a single location to the vehicle operator and by means of indirect vision. Rear visibility system means the set of devices or components which together perform the function of producing the rearview image as required under this standard. --- 5.5 just says it needs to meet certain testing standards, start displaying within 2 seconds of backing up, and stop displaying when driving forward. | ||

FMVSS does in the US, but it'd have to be very steampunk to meet all the requirements. | ||

A lot of delivery vehicles used to have convex mirror behind to give an idea where the bumper is. | ||
