Valeo prototypes trailer backup cameras aid

If you tow trailers and have difficulty when backing them up, this prototype camera system from Valeo looks good, writes Brian Byrne.

The system, shown at the CES in Las vegas, uses a number of cameras mounted on both the vehicle and the trailer.

Using a computerised mashup, they all combine to provide a single image on a cabin screen (in this case the prototype result is shown on a tablet) that gives the driver a clean view and guides to help in backing up.

Land Rover showed something similar in 2015.
