Audi’s exemption with NHTSA is for 2 years, with 1 year left, and then the NHTSA has to rule on whether to allow this type of option. That there are complaints of the Audi solution doesn’t make the replacement bad, only that solution, and the complaint you mention isn’t about the quality of the view, which is what the exemption is to help determine. Problems are good, because they can help make such systems better.I don’t see antiquated US laws regarding old school side mirrors changing anytime soon.
If US legislation regarding side view cameras does change I hope Tesla follows Honda lead and avoids Audi. The Honda e electric car, not sold in the US, supposedly has excellent side view cameras and monitors. The Audi is getting owner complaints about seeing the drivers knee reflection in the passenger monitor and therefore being useless.
