M-C ANTI GLARE SPOT MIRROR TECHNOLOGY

M-C North America has dedicated 7 years to improving the technology used in safety mirrors including the blind spots in exterior and interior mirror systems on commercial vehicles of all types. Our emphasis is on transit bus, motor coach, mini-coach, walk in vans, tractor-trailer, farm, excavation and mining equipment.  

Currently, blind spots exist in all mirror systems of vehicles on and off the road. Owners of these on and off-road vehicles have simply accepted the belief that accidents relating to blind spots or mirror-glare are a fact of life and generally they just adapt to the added costs of operations resulting from accidents caused by this existing-faulty technology.

We are presented daily with accidents reported on the news that present to us this existing-faulty technology that all "on" and "off-road" vehicle owners can relate to:

• A city bus:  Usually the first piece of information we receive is that the operator did not see the person or object and the sad fact is that this is probably true because the person or object was in the blind spot as the turn or lane change was made.
• The work site of a construction project. The front end loader strikes a co-worker working along side the unit in an area unseen by the operator. The exterior mirrors do not show the operator the area in proximity to the machine.
