Incidents Like These Make The Case For 360 Systems
In case you haven’t heard yet (that’s unlikely), we’re huge proponents of 360° systems here at RVS.
We’re especially partial towards our very own inView 360° HD Around Vehicle Monitoring System, and to be quite honest, what’s not to love? You get a HD birds-eye view of your vehicle’s surroundings, with instant reverse rear camera-activation, automatic triggers, easily mounted cameras, and a super-seamless auto calibration process.
Of course, the biggest draw is the elimination of blind spots, which is the main feature of any 360° system. Below are a few examples of what happens when those blind spots aren’t dealt with.

Speeding and carelessness aside, this is one of those easily preventable incidents that a a well-run fleet could’ve avoided by outfitting their semis with a 360° system.
Truck blind spot accident
Close call! This is probably a car driver’s worst nightmare, and would have been a moderately bad nightmare for the fleet, in terms of accountability. Luckily, it didn’t have a fatal ending!
It’s easy to see the value of illuminating blind spots. As we’ve previously noted, 360° systems are becoming more and more commonplace in new cars hitting the road. Government fleets like USPS are beginning to adopt the tech as well.
For us, it’s an easy choice to make: invest in a premium product, rather than rack up higher liability costs down the road...
