"At Honda, we feel that this visibility feature will be important to many families and we're widely applying it even before we may be required to do so," said Vicki Poponi, assistant vice president of product planning for American Honda. "In addition to the wide application of the rear view camera technology, Honda is also introducing several new features for enhanced driver safety, visibility and security in model-year 2013."
Rear view cameras are just one aspect of Honda's comprehensive 360-degree approach to technologies designed to enhance a driver's visibility, demonstrated by a host of features available on 2013 Honda models. Safety technologies such as Honda's new forward collision warning (FCW) and lane departure warning (LDW) systems will be available on the 2013 Honda Accord and Crosstour. Both systems use a camera mounted behind the windshield to warn drivers of a potential collision in front of them or to alert drivers if the car is unexpectedly moving out of its lane.
Other Honda features aimed at improving driver visibility are the expanded view driver's mirror and the Honda-exclusive LaneWatch blind-spot display.
