I have enough trouble keeping track of what is in front of me the windshield, and the two side mirrors, taking a occasional glance at the toad in the monitor, and checking the oil pressure, the water temp, the tranny temp, the battery gauge, etc. Doing all that is a full time job. Don't need anything else taking my eyes off the road!
To me the whole point of the project is to keep the driver informed without taking his eyes off the road so much. He just has to take a quick glance up from his normal line of sight and can see everything around him at once. He does not even have to turn his head. That should be much faster than turning his head back and forth to the side mirrors.
I plan to do this in my coach, I have already purchased one monitor and as soon as I can prove to myself that all of the wiring works I am going to get the other two. This thread just convinces me of the value of the project. Good job and very neat installation!
