CES 2016: BMW shows mirrorless camera technology

The limited sight line of your car's rear view mirror may be a thing of the past. 

BMW showed off the i8 electric car's mirrorless system. Images from three cameras are combined on a display that replaces the interior mirror, giving the driver larger viewing angles and eliminating blind spots. 

The system analyzes the images and alerts drivers to potential hazards with yellow warning icons. The replacement mirror also has lines showing the car's trajectory when parking. 

The i3 electric car has a roof-mounted camera replacing its mirror, giving a much wider angle of view. 

BMW also introduced more gesture controls in the 7 Series luxury car to control infotainment and communication features without touching a screen.
