No, no current Ford products have it.
The idea is it eliminates blind spots altogether - no pillars, people, cargo, etc. in the way, but they can be turned off and use a regular mirror, if desired.
I could see it being useful on something like Bronco, where the tire out back can limit visibility.
I view it as a "keeping up with the Joneses" type option - competitors have it, so it should be offered, but Ford doesn't seem to care about that type of thing lately (i.e. removing features to save a buck....while charging more).
Usually they're a separate camera - sometimes they're mounted up in the rear spoiler of SUVs, sometimes they're right next to the backup camera.
Good question, I do wonder about how it would fit into the NA lineup-its longer/wilder then the BOF Bronco in North America.
It would butt into the Explorer sales space, which I'm not sure if Ford would want to do that.
Ford still has a gaping opening below the Bronco and Bronco Sport that would be better off filled maybe by something more car like that would be a legitimate Edge replacement.
IMO it would be better just to make the Bronco and Sport a P/HEV short term then move to an EREV setup by the end of the decade.
IIRC on the Corolla Cross I saw today, it looked like the camera was set up much higher then other backup cameras I've seen-like in the spoiler above the rear hatch glass.
The New Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid Isn't All That New
There’s a perfectly logical explanation why the "new" Rogue Plug-In Hybrid doesn’t look like any other version of the compact crossover. It’s not really a Nissan. Instead, it’s a straightforward case of badge engineering. The model is essentially a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV with different logos and a revised front grille, designed to align it with newer products, such as the Sentra and Leaf.
It’s highly unusual for a model to gain a plug-in hybrid powertrain so late in its life cycle. The third-generation Rogue has been around for five years, yet only now is Nissan pairing a combustion engine with an electric motor. Although the press release never mentions “Mitsubishi,” the spec sheet makes the connection obvious once you spot the engine’s codename: “MMC [Mitsubishi Motors Corporation] 4B12.”
Not really sure why they're rebadging an Outlander / why they're doing this...
Next-Gen Toyotas Will Now Last for Almost a Decade - Autoblog
According to a report from Nikkei Asia, Toyota plans to extend the average life cycle of its flagship models to about nine years. It’s an unusually long span for a mainstream brand, but Toyota believes this direction makes sense as demand remains strong and certain models face years-long waiting times. The idea is to create a more stable sales environment and make it easier for buyers to get popular models without having the next-generation version appear just as their order is fulfilled.
The other advantage is that it can be made available only in a certain trim package or option group, bundled in with other options. Maybe even subscription-based; free for 1year, then reverts back to a conventional mirror, or displays only in black & white if you don't subscribe.
Where is the camera(s) for it? if it utilizes the same one as the backup camera, it will lose clear visibility in the rain.
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.
