How does the virtual exterior mirrors of the Audi e-Tron work?

I am curious about the virtual exterior mirrors of the Audi e-Tron. How do they function and what benefits do they offer compared to traditional side mirrors?

The virtual exterior mirrors of the Audi e-Tron use cameras mounted on the vehicle's body to capture the surroundings. The images are then displayed on OLED screens inside the vehicle, providing a wider field of vision and reduced wind noise.

Unlike traditional side mirrors, the virtual exterior mirrors of the Audi e-Tron are not affected by rain or snow. The cameras and screens have a heating system that ensures clear visibility in any weather conditions.
