One other advantage...you don't have to adjust it when driving after someone with a vastly different height. After my wife drives, the rearview mirror shows me nothing but the back seat. This could eliminate that.
But, again, doesn't seem to be worth it.
2 advantages I can think of. Doesn’t get blocked by people or cargo and it doesn’t reflect headlights in your eyes. But neither of those seem worth the extra cost and complexity to me.
I first saw this in a loaded Santa Fe a few summer ago, I wasn't impressed with it-it seemed to suffer from "input lag" i.e. the images it was displaying where ever so slower then what you would see with a standard rearview mirror.
Anyways I noticed a Toyota Corolla Cross in front of me had one-a product that is much lower down on the product lineup...which had me wondering, outside of a being able to display some additional information, often that isn't really necessary, what is the actual point of having these style mirrors? It seems pointless to replace something that costs maybe 10-20 bucks with something that costs 10X as much, especially in lower end product where pricing is a bit more sensitive.
Do any Ford or Lincoln products offer anything like this? I haven't noticed.
I paid $2.25/gal for E10/87 in Norman this afternoon (could’ve been $2.17 if I’d gone a little farther down the road to the Walmarts where I normally fill up).
I paid $2.20/gal for E10/87 at the Murphy outside the Walmarts in Sapulpa an hour or so later.
Holding steady at $2.87 for 87 octane regular unleaded in Rome NY at Sunoco on Martin St. Update though, Sunoco signs were coming down yesterday when we stopped in and VP Racing signage was going up in their place. Apparently, VP Racing has a retail arm.

When you read up on your Ford History, Rouge was originally supposed to be the "make everything" plant for the production of a car from tires to batteries to wood for flooring to steel production...Henry wanted to control all of what went into a car so as not to be beholden to any outside influence...Fordlandia was supposed to supply Rouge with the raw materials as well....Henry was right, just a century too early.
