LOL............A landrover towing a landrover, pretty soon a tow-truck will have 2 landrovers to tow.

 

I think it's a damn good idea and pretty cool too..

 

Cloaking devises in our near future, star trek is becoming real..lol

 

it's a quietly accepted secret that the Romulans own Land Rover

 

And here I thought it was the Klingons

 

The Borg must own toyota.................

Resistance is futile...............All vehicle designs will look like ours.

 

RV's even ten years ago featured a full range of rearview and sideview (blindspot) camera systems. I actually found a 720PI camera in one of the boxes of junk I was sorting out in the last few days. The housing is only 1" in diameter by an inch and a quarter long, and it is linked by telephone cable (4 conductor).

Spot and security cameras now come in all sorts of definitions, and also both wired and wireless versions. In looking at home security options I found several systems under $300 that had four HD camera feeds and a receiver with an HDD either 500Gb or one terabyte. These might not be 12VDC adaptable - since they were house systems, but the tech is definitely there.

In other news I'm seeing HUD systems for gauges that reflect an image onto the windshield so that you don't have to look away from the road to monitor speed, fuel, etc. The Landrover "Invisible Bonnet" system must use a similar concept, but that would be difficult to even imagine coming from any kind of an aftermarket 'KIT'. The dashpanel would have to be radically modified and the image/optics matched to the shape of the windshield glass.

What CAN be done, and is an interesting idea, is to set up a "Nose Camera" at the top of the grill, and link it to a small flatscreen on the dash or in it.

In stand-alone cameras for surveillance and security there are a wide variety of options. Up to 4K def, color, IR, Night Vision up to 100 feet, and so on.

Many cameras incorporate motion detectors, and could activate when something enters the field of view/sensitivity zone so that someone sliding up behind could trigger the display (for example).

In '06 when I was still doing RV Tech, I drove a rig or two that had left and right sideview cams, and a rearview that were displayed on the center of the panel. The screen was about twelve inches wide back then, but full color.

Wireless cam systems mean that you can stick a camera on the back glass inside of a vehicle being towed using a suction cup mount, and not have to string wires between the vehicles!

So there are tons of possibilities now.
