safety of the area around the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and
detection range of the sensors are limited.
For example, the areas in black at the front
and rear of the vehicle image and the
seams where each of the camera images
merge are blind spots where an obstruction
may not be visible. In addition, the
extended vehicle widt h lines and projected
vehicle path lines are only to be used as
references, and the images on the screen
may differ from the actual conditions.
