Intelligent Rear Vision System Gives Peugeot 9X8 Hybrid an Edge at 24 Hours of Le Mans

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is not only the world's greatest one of the most grueling sports-car races, it's also the ultimate test track for new technology.

This year, the Peugeot 9X8 Hybrid Hypercar is sporting the latest in rear-vision technology in its race car. It's described by developer Gentex Corporation as "an intelligent rear vision system designed to optimize the vehicle’s rearward view."

The system features an enhanced racing version of Gentex’s Full Display Mirror, a digital rearview mirror. The technology captures video from a rearward-facing camera and streams it to a mirror-integrated LCD display, providing drivers with a wide, unobstructed view behind the vehicle.
