The primary rear-facing camera will like be rough mounted, perhaps integrated into a short finished antenna. The side view mirrors however are integrated into downsize exterior mirrors which its believed its critical to the system functionality. The cameras are mounted to feel safe against weather conditions, or system failure that may disrupt the digital view; such that the driver can still use a default with the interior and exterior mirrors. It also supports user preference by permitting drivers to use standard mirror views, camera views or both as they desire.
