I'm fine with mirrors too but would love to have cameras on the rear pillars covering the blind spot. Was hoping they'd have this on the Model S.
I am not sure if the idea has been previously discussed, but wouldn't having rear facing camera's potentially open up all sorts of interesting capabilities as far as warning solutions? I.E. when merging, etc. Furthermore I would imagine they could do things like highlight cars on the screen, etc to make them even more obvious to a driver at even a small glance? I don't know, I just think it's a logical step from many levels (not merely aerodynamics), moving everything to an electric/computerized system has many benefits and I don't doubt that regulators may be interested in approving this sooner rather then later.

This may not be necessary. correct lens choice, chip size and placement could give you the entire field with one camera.
While I think it would be fairly easy to used to using an on-dash screen for side mirrors, most people don't drive just one car. Flipping back and forth could be a bit of a safety hazard.
Agree. When I turn on the Roadster's backup camera while driving (forward, just to be clear), it's a bit of a change from using my rear view mirror. Helpful information in heavy traffic, but, well, it's different.
The car embodies several design elements that could make their way to other Lamborghini vehicles, including tag-like side mirrors embedded with cameras that display rear-view images on screens inside the car.
A thought on this that I floated before: replace all the mirrors with a HD screen in the same location as the current rear-view mirror. Make it wider so that the screen gives a 180-degree quasi-fisheye view behind. We're already conditioned to look there for rear images; why not consolidate all the images into a single place?I think that would be a good way to make the transition. I can see MUCH more with the camera than the rear view mirror. But I'd like the projection to be up (similar to the mirror position), rather than looking down. (My eyes aren't off the road.) For the side mirrors, I'd vote on the display being in the upper corners of the windshield, respectively.
