This year's Spring Festival is a bit special. The usual Spring Festival is very lively, but this year's Spring Festival is very quiet. This is mainly because most Chinese people have to choose to stay at home and spend the Spring Festival quietly. And when the Chinese have to choose to stay at home, India is the opposite of China's atmosphere. A large-scale Delhi auto show is being held here, and the scene is crowded with people.
Actually, in our impression, India has always been a very magical country. Many people think that the people of India are very magical, and even many netizens call India the open-hanging nation, but as early as In 2018, India has surpassed Germany to become the world's fourth largest car market, following China, the United States, and Japan. In that year, car sales reached 4.39 million.
It can be said that India has indeed turned on the hook over the years, but there is a very magical phenomenon in India. Many cars do not have rearview mirrors, or vehicles only have a rearview mirror on the driver’s side. The editor has to sigh that it is indeed amazing to open up the nationality, but many people can't help but wonder why cars do not have rearview mirrors and traffic police allow them to drive normally. Without rearview mirrors, how do their drivers drive? How did you reverse the car?
Under normal circumstances, the rearview mirror of a car can help the driver to judge the situation of the rear vehicle. If there is an emergency in the rear, it can save more lives. Therefore, in many countries, cars are regulated. The rearview mirror is an indispensable configuration. If there is no rearview mirror, it will not be allowed on the road. So why do many cars in India do not have a rearview mirror?
First of all, Indian traffic regulations do not require every vehicle to be equipped with rearview mirror .
The rearview mirror of a car in India is only an optional accessory. The owner has the right to choose not to install it or choose to install it, or you can choose to install the rearview mirror only on one side. This policy has led many Indian car owners to buy Either you don’t need a rear-view mirror or install a rear-view mirror on the side of the car owner. After all, the people of India can save money.
Secondly, whether the car is hard or not is closely related to the economic level of the local people.
In some big cities in India, the traffic is usually better, and the local people’s awareness and quality are relatively high. Cars in big cities basically have rearview mirrors, but generally there is no rearview mirror. Cars mainly exist in some relatively backward small cities or rural areas in India, and these cars without rearview mirrors are mainly low-end cars, and the number is relatively large.
finally has a close relationship with the traffic conditions on the streets of India, the rearview mirror really affects driving.
Most roads in India are two-lane, not only does not distinguish between motorized and non-motorized lanes, but there is almost no traffic police commanding traffic on the road. Many Indian car owners basically ignore traffic lights. State, these conditions make the road conditions in India very chaotic, cars and cars, cars and people, people and people, and sometimes you can see elephants on the road, so in this case, if your car has a rearview mirror Yes, you can hardly walk on many roads in India, and it is easy to scratch the pedestrians around, so you can avoid some collisions and accidents after going to the rearview mirror.
I believe everyone now understands why many cars in India do not have rear-view mirrors. In fact, there is another country besides India that they are also gradually canceling rear-view mirrors. This country is Japan.
Japan passed a new law in 2016 that allows cars to go on the road without rearview mirrors, but there is one point that suits India, which is different from Japan. It does not end with the cancellation of rearview mirrors, but appears. A more advanced thing to replace the rear view mirror, this thing is a combination of high-definition camera and video.
The traditional rearview mirror has two major defects.
The first defect: There is a blind spot, and the field of view is not wide enough, especially for many off-road vehicles with large trucks or high chassisOwners of cars, SUVs, etc. always cannot see the cars passing by. This situation is very easy to cause traffic accidents.
The second defect: the wind resistance is large, and there is noise. The appearance of the car is streamlined because the streamlined body can greatly reduce the wind resistance, while the presence of the rearview mirror increases the wind resistance. After the resistance of the wind is large, the fuel consumption of the car is increased, and at the same time, a larger noise is generated.
So the traditional rearview mirror has two major defects. Japanese auto companies have thought of a new way to replace rearview mirrors. This emerging way is the combination of high-definition cameras and video.
The driver can get a wider field of vision in the car than the traditional rearview mirror, and the owner does not need to adjust the rearview mirror to adjust the best angle, and no longer need to worry about the rear view of the vehicle will be scratched mirror.
At the same time, at night, the car owner can watch through high-definition images in the car, which is clearer than the rear-view mirror. At the same time, the elimination of the rear-view mirror can also reduce the wind resistance to achieve The purpose of reducing fuel consumption.
However, there are still many people who oppose the cancellation of rearview mirrors, because this new method first increases the cost of making cars. It is obvious that a mirror can solve the problem, and new processors, displays, and wiring are added. , Camera, but don’t know what everyone thinks of this matter? If we really cancel the camera of the car, will the old drivers like it or hate it? Will it alleviate the driving problems in our lives or increase the difficulty of driving? Let's wait and see.
