This is really brilliant - teenager design system to eliminate blind
spot caused by the A-pillar, and hopes to interest Tesla.
It works by using a camera to capture, from the driver's point of view,
what would be blocked by the pillar. Then, that image is projected onto
the pillar itself, effectively making the pillar transparent. Or, in the
future, the pillar could be covered with an LED screen or other display
technology instead of projecting an image.
She added reflective material to the pillar surface to make the
projected image clear and bright.
I think this is particularly ingenious, and better than the standard
approach of having a display with a general image from an external
camera, because it allows the driver to look at just one place to
capture all information. With a separate display, you have to look out
the windows AND look at the display, which takes more time and mental
processing.
