Abstract
An apparatus to enhance driving safety for vehicles especially in the dynamic conditions at turning includes a display panel installed on an inner side of the vehicle A-pillar and a video camera installed on an outer side of the A-pillar. Vision outside the A-pillar can be dynamically captured by the video camera and displayed on the display panel. Hence the visual scope of the driver increases. A video camera array can be provided to capture the images of different angles. And an image processor is provided to process the images and display a full scope image on a full scope display panel on the inner side of the A-pillar. Thereby the driver can get a visual image equivalent to a transparent A-pillar to enhance driving safety.
