Just laws in all countries require them, and designing stuff for a few
places that are exceptions just isn't done.

We have no state inspections in Georgia, so I guess I could install three
screens ( where I have no idea ) and eliminate the side view and rear view
mirrors.

What would be cool is a steering wheel button that displays a rear view HUD
style on the windscreen  ( like a video game ), can you imagine backing into
a parking place using that alone ( and yes, many cars have back up asst
cameras ( some even superimpose a pathway ) but none to my knowledge are HUD
type.


Hey, Gary...talking to you before it's too late!
