What are the virtual mirrors in the Audi A8?

I heard that the Audi A8 has virtual side mirrors instead of traditional mirrors. Can you explain how they work and if they have any benefits?

The Audi A8 is equipped with optional virtual side mirrors, also known as Audi Virtual Mirrors. They use cameras to display a live feed of the surroundings onto screens inside the car, replacing the traditional side mirrors. This not only reduces drag and improves aerodynamics but also allows for a wider field of view and can even eliminate blind spots.

Audi Virtual Mirrors are a great addition to the Audi A8, providing a more modern and futuristic aesthetic to the car. However, they also have practical benefits such as reducing wind noise and improving visibility in various weather conditions. Plus, they are more aerodynamically efficient than traditional mirrors, contributing to better fuel efficiency.

As an Audi A8 owner, I highly recommend opting for the virtual side mirrors. They take a bit of time to get used to, but once you do, you'll never want to go back. The cameras provide a clear and crisp image, even at night, and the customizable display options make it easier to find the perfect viewing angle for your driving needs.
