    Didn’t Tesla try to do this in model X, but were forced to add real mirrors?

    I am wondering what allowed apple to patent this.

      It looks like their patent is technically different as they display the “mirror” with the heads up display projector in the dash instead of the main display or an LCD screen on the A-pillars.

      In the US at least, wing mirrors are required by the DOT but can be supplemented with digital alternatives
