Keep your hands on the steering wheel he says but you’re glancing across at the screen which is more distracting than say turning a knob to adjust the heater, and it will take you three times as long by the time you’ve faffed about with the menus. Step to far I think, prefer conventional instruments and a proper dashboard like Scania went for.

[@Fieldsonyoutube]

I totally agree, some things are better left alone. What takes 2 seconds glance and then move your hand over now like you said takes 5 minutes clicking through the menus and agree would be very destracting

[@Horizon301.]

Same with cars nowadays, you see climate controls on a second screen on Audi’s and it’s awful

[@danny1229c]

there are hard buttons for almost everything and everything can be done in three ways 1.via the touch screen 2.via the blackberry like things one the steering wheel or 3. via the hard buttons on the wheel, dash and the bottom of the left screen. honestly if you haven't had one for a day reserve your judgment because its a really good truck

[@Horizon301.]

buck rogers or you can just control the climate control with one rotary know without even needing to look. I have tried both systems from Audi, VW and BMW and the traditional systems vs the dual touch screen set up are for more practical, ideal and safer, in control of a truck I expect it to be even easier than a car.

[@Tomcroese]

Yes, thats ring, you have to follow you finger. You can't just rech out and touch a button. I think that botton will com back.

[@wino0000006]

The problem with cam mirrors is that the reproduced image is 2D since they use a one lens camera. While any mirror reflects 3D image. And this is crucial for sensing the distance and the speed of nearby vehicles. And the polarized glasses won't work on displayed image.

[@yash1one556]

[@danny1229c]

Was given one of these yesterday and i have to say apart from the mirrors this is a fantastic truck ! i'm pretty old school in my truck preferences and so i was already biased towards it before i got in it but within the first 2 hours of a 15 hour shift it had won me over in a big way and i love everything about it excluding the Mirror cam

[@danny1229c]

I probably should add tho i turned off all of the auto systems for the time i had it like auto braking and lane keeping etc

[@transit1199]

What if there were a fault with one of the cameras it would basically stop all works until it was fixed

[@letshaveya]

Yeah thats what I was thinking or even worse you end up breaking one and its not as simple as replacing a mirror and no doubt cost a lot more to replace. They need a back up plan for when these camera's fail otherwise the truck becomes useless, you cant drive a HGV without mirrors. Technology is getting better but it still has its own problems. I know with some of the older vehicles I drove that had reverse cameras you were lucky if they worked half the time, so you would want to hope the mirror cameras are much more reliable.

[@English.Andy1]

No different to knocking a mirror off. Just more expensive to replace

[@j0llyroger889]

Just more stuff to go wrong and £££££

[@aldworth33]

Exactly the same as a standard mirror. They wont be crazy priced from what I've been told and for the 1 time you break a mirror you'd lose the benefits of cameras every other day?

they are fine in the day light but not so good on twilight i found, and the low res cameras are grainy. Also so lights on cars can appear like they are flashing even tho they don't have any lights on ! range rovers look like a safety car at a race track with it works with them for some reason

[@kieranhendy]

Do these remove a possible blind spot at junctions? I would imagine that the big, standard mirrors it would somewhat block your view at angled junctions?

[@joshymankeira]

I stopped driving artics some years ago, due to illness, I loved the twenty years plus and all the different trucks I drove, my ambition whilst on the road was to drive tankers and I managed that just before my illness brought about a career change. I must say, that I do miss this career, it was a passion of mine since being a boy. The video is great and that Mercedes is the right way ahead, sadly, technology will take over and the driver will be replaced, in time, so, to all those drivers out there who may be dismissing the mirror cam, I say, get use to it, or move on, business will be business and it there’s a way of cutting cost, then you know that it’ll happen.

[@KevTee]

Driver won't be replaced in my lifetime or my kids lifetime so I think we're be alright 👍

[@richardskeggs3726]

Kind of understand, sorry about your illness hope you enjoy your new career. As for driver's being replaced that won't happen, think of planes many years ago without auto pilot , now planes are teched up like our trucks but require manual landing and take off and manurvering , so we'll still need proper qualified driver's to manuver at sites, truck stops and even maybe built up urban areas , but who knows what will be in a 100yrs

[@TheByard]

The camera mirror system will cut down on the exterior clutter and improve vision, but do the internal screens create a blind spot by increasing the door pillar width. You said they new system did not loose the rear of the trailer while blind siding, so do the cameras pan during the reverse operation???? I have seen car drivers take both hand of the steering wheel for long periods of time using Lane Control, should there be a detection system to prevent this. Just another system to prevent abuse of the 1st system.

[@Fieldsonyoutube]

Looking at the video it would create a blind spot I would think, but then your eliminating a blind spot with your outside mirrors, Assumeing when say at traffic lights you keep focused on whats around you, then these blind spots would be eliminated as you should/would know whats behind them.

I think they have missed a trick here considering they have gone to the trouble of the all singing and dancing mirror cameras . Surely it would make sense for some extra detachable cameras on the front of the trailer ? You can see one blind side when reversing but not the other ? Or am I wrong ?

[@TheDarrenc1973]

Hi Kev. Great video. As you know with our lot we have the Actros, we have one of the new ones coming next week for the European boys. Personally I'm not sure about all these electronics, the mirror cams look good but just something else to go wrong, do they work well at night? Mercedes and electronics don't seem to mix to well. More and more gizmos perhaps taking attention away from the driver could become dangerous working nights.

From what I’ve seen they are fine during the day, but about as useful as a chocolate fireguard at night. Also the cameras/screens really don’t like LED running lights.

[@basherman1028]

Not to mention they are shocking in the rain and rain at night unsafe.

[@stretchedits]

Guess I'm a bit late with the comments on this one? I've started seeing these new Mercs out and about recently, we still have 50 of the new Scanias..................Very happy with them. So very interesting to see your blind side reverse with the camera helping, did it actually change the angle to best help you reverse? Do those cameras also have infrared for night time use, that would be pretty cool........How many times can you not see anything in your mirrors on a cold dark wet night. One last comment, if your not allowed to use a mobile device while driving, what is the difference between the new Merc dash screens and using a mobile or Ipad while driving, they both use the same menu driven way of working, from a purely legal point of view. Just a few thoughts from a fellow trucker. Best regards Dave.

What the lag from camera to screen like?

[@TheRockgod23]

I can’t really comment as I haven’t yet driven one ‘without mirrors’ but I think the camera on the passenger side will get knocked off as soon as you drive down a country lane. It’s too high and will get hit by the first low branch (which you’d normally miss) you encounter, leaving you with no N/S mirror and an expensive replacement camera ! Also, if they are like a tv screen when driving in the dark they will be a distraction if they are too bright !

[@KevTee]

Hey mate, good to hear from you, only time will tell if they get knocked off, my feeling is that they patrude less than a mirror and are slightly higher so if your in a situation you would rip it off, you would of ripped the mirror off anyway. The monitors do go into a night mode just like a satnav does but they also have a brightness adjustment also. Safe travels 👍

[@danny1229c]

they can fold in if something is against them but i have to ask where is the brightness adjustment ? probably the only thing i haven't found yet ! also i've found when i adjust the mirror angles you can no longer use the yellow lines for distance judgement because they are set up for a set angle
