Merc DriverCam. Vision problems?

GasGas:
There was an article by Bob Beech on this published by Commercial Motor a few years back.

Some older drivers who wear ‘distance’ glasses seem to struggle with the MirrorCam.

I can’t say I noticed a problem with it at all (and I’m quite old, with distance glasses), but I only drove the truck in daylight. Also, because I don’t drive a truck very often, I found it easier to adjust to than some folk who drive trucks more frequently.

The mirror image is a direct reflected 3d image so your distance perception and sight focus stays the same as though you were looking at it ahead in the distance.
The TV image will only be focused by the eyes at the range that the TV screen is from your eyes.Even then it contains no distance information because it’s not a 3d camera set up.
It’s not rocket science the nerds who thought up this stupid idea should all be sacked with extreme prejudice.
