Nissan’s luxury brand has long been effectively pioneering advanced and innovative driver assistance functions to deliver more security to consumers. As such, the 2018 INFINITI QX80 features a plentiful list of active and protective safety technologies, not the least of which is the newly available Smart Rear-View Mirror.
Owners of this full-size SUV will benefit from a dynamic, dual-purpose digital interface that works as both an extension of the operator's field of vision, as well as a monitor.

At the touch of a button, it can instantly switch from its standard operating mode to display video streamed directly from a camera mounted in the upper rear windshield. So, no matter the weather—be it fog, snow, rain, or ice—motorists still have a clear sense of what’s happening behind them.Â
To further impress, the SRVM helps to improve visibility at night and in low-light conditions. Utilizing a High Definition Resolution screen that can combine two images into one at 60 frames-per-second, it enables a more precise picture, with a wide-angle lens to provide a 48.1-degree outlook (as compared to a conventional prop that only offers 19-20 degrees).
