The video feed comes from a rear-mounted camera. Flip a switch on the mirror and it reverts to being a traditional reflective mirror. Flip back and it’s a camera again.

Nissan will unveil the mirror at the Geneva Motor Show next week. It will first be used at the 24 Hours of LeMans Race on a car that doesn’t have any significant rear view other than the side mirrors. Nissan hasn’t said what passenger car it would be on. It will be offered this spring as a dealer add-on accessory in the Japanese market, followed by an introduction to global markets in 2015.
