Just curious have you actually tried them yet? On a serious note.
Shunted one around the yard for 15mins one Sat morning…hated it.
Kept looking through windows for a mirror.
A clasic case of tech for tech’s sake, and why ‘mend’ something that aint broken.
Or maybe more of me with my usual ‘cba anymore’ attitude. 
Range will be way down when you reduce batteries by half for the midlift axle or are we going the Chinese way with a 4x2 plus 4 axle semi-or will our friend be in in his element with everyone moving over to wagon and drags to get the battery capacity?
Either way the idea of a tractor unit bearing both the weight of a semi trailer and a locomotive battery pack ain’t going to work.
You get used to them, and for blind side reversing, a lot better with the tracking. And with the MAN cams, they seem better. No flickering from other LED lights
I see but try one on the road before making a full decision, they have there pros and cons much the same way a conventional mirror does. No one gets on with them immediately cause it requires change and trying something new.

Yeah I already manage blind sides ok thanks, no desire to try one on road, …definitely no desire to get used to one.
As I said cba…no interest anymore.
Cheers.
I suspect that they’ll be no good for trunking as the range will be inadequate, by comparison the LNG Volvos I used to drive where incapable of getting from Doncaster to Swindon & back, and had to be refuelled in Swindon to garantee getting back
More like a justified secpticism and resistance to retrograde technology, that’s all about putting money in the pockets of the electronics industry that doesn’t deserve it.
