Polestar's Precept Concept Car Unveils Revolutionary Digital Rearview Mirror
Polestar, the Swedish electric vehicle specialist, has unveiled a revolutionary feature in its Precept concept car: a digital rearview mirror. This innovation replaces traditional mirrors with cameras and displays, offering improved visibility and aerodynamic benefits.
The digital rearview mirror, developed in-house by Polestar, uses a 2.5-megapixel camera with a 121° field of view to transmit real-time images to an 8.9-inch HD screen. This technology not only enhances driver visibility, especially in low visibility or rainy conditions, but also reduces wind resistance by eliminating the need for traditional side mirrors.
Shana Claessens, a speed enthusiast and track racing expert at ERA, teaches women to drive Formula 4 electric cars. She appreciates the enhanced visibility and safety provided by the digital rearview mirror. Polestar has integrated this feature into its Precept concept car, demonstrating its commitment to useful innovation.
The Polestar 4, featuring this digital rearview mirror, was tested at the Hällered Proving Ground in Sweden. The car also served as a sustainable support vehicle at the 2025 European Athletics Championships. The elimination of the rear window in the Precept creates more space in the cabin, providing a more immersive and luxurious rear cabin experience.
Polestar's digital rearview mirror is a significant advancement in automotive technology. By replacing traditional mirrors with cameras and displays, it improves driver visibility and reduces wind resistance. This innovation, along with its use in sustainable events like the European Athletics Championships, underscores Polestar's commitment to enhancing safety, comfort, and environmental responsibility.
