8.5.1.3. Invisible Hood View

The Invisible Hood View allows user to see the road surface underneath the virtually transparent vehicle body. This may be useful for aligning the front wheels with the rails of the automatic car wash, or help to avoid hitting the side of the vehicle against curbs when operating at low speeds, for example.

The image of the road surface under the body is a composite from the front camera images, and does not actually show the road surface under the vehicle body.
