How might drivers see around blind spots? The answer may be in a technique where the child crouching behind the car, the toddler who breaks free from a controlling hand and starts running alongside the car, the teen on the bike riding dangerously close to the car, can all be seen and not obscured. Profs. Susumu Tachi and Masahiko Inami from the Graduate School of Media Design at Keio University in Japan and Yuji Uema, who is a Ph.D. candidate there, wrote a detailed article about their work in IEEE Spectrum along with a video showing their "truly transparent car" system which they devised at Keio University.
