Installed in the company's new 2014 Rogue at Nissan's stand at the upcoming New York International Auto Show, the product enables drivers to switch between the LCD monitor and the traditional rearview mirror, depending upon the requirement.

The Smart Rearview Mirror features a new narrow-angle camera and a specially shaped LCD monitor, with a unique aspect ratio of about 4:1, compared to a conventional monitors' 4:3 or 16:9.

The camera provides a clear image and a wider and clearer view than a standard mirror.

Nissan chief planning officer and executive vice president Andy Palmer said Smart Rearview Mirror will give the customers the best possible view no matter how tall the passengers in the back seat or how bad the road conditions.

"It also offers the possibility of new and exciting designs for our upcoming models, ensuring that appearance no longer has to be compromised for visibility and functionality. We'll have the flexibility to create new shapes and to further improve aerodynamics for better driving dynamics and fuel efficiency," Palmer added.

Nissan's Smart Rearview Mirror can offer a clear image in a variety of environmental conditions including rain, snow, dawn and dusk.

Nissan plans to implement the Smart Rearview Mirror in the ZEOD RC, an experimental race car scheduled to compete in the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, and other NISMO race cars.

The company plans to launch the Smart Rearview Mirror in global markets over the next few years, following an initial rollout to Japanese customers in spring this year.
