The MTA says they're looking at e-mirrors for buses because the large mirrors on the sides of buses were involved in approximately 1,800 accidents last year.
"It turns out that 25% of all of our bus collisions each year involve a mirror," said Richard Davey, president of New York City Transit."It's the large mirrors that you see that are hitting street poles, other cars, these dining structures that are now in our right of way. It's driving up our maintenance costs. It's driving up our legal settlements.
" So they are rolling out a pilot program to use e-mirrors in some buses, using essentially similar technology as rear-view cameras. safer space for bus drivers"This would also, by the way, unlock our ability, we believe, to bring the full cockpit, if you will, across the driver's space in order to keep them fully secure and away from any assault," Fahey added.
