Is the distance between the left and right lines of the reversing image the width of the car body?

The distance between the left and right lines of the reversing image is not necessarily the width of the car body. The following are two situations regarding the width of the lines on both sides of the reversing image: 1. Original equipment: Under normal circumstances, it is basically the width of the car body; 2. Self-installed later: Most are not the width of the car body, but usually the distance between the tires. Depending on the brand and model of the reversing image, there may also be differences. Additional information: The following is an introduction to the reversing image: 1. When reversing, you need to look at the rearview mirrors on both sides. The reversing image can only serve as an auxiliary function. Because the image in the reversing image has a different distance ratio from reality, and most images will have significant distortion, this distortion will directly affect the accuracy of judging the distance of objects. The most critical function of the reversing image is to ensure there is no blind spot directly behind the car. 2. When choosing a reversing image, pay attention to whether it matches your car model. You can consider factors such as the camera model, power supply voltage, screen size, waterproofing, shock resistance, and anti-interference capabilities.
I was often asked this question when repairing cars. In fact, the left and right reference lines on the reversing camera do not equal the actual width of the car body. Those two lines mainly represent the track width of the wheels, equivalent to the range where your rear wheels will pass. The actual body width is wider because the doors and side mirrors extend beyond the wheels. Repair shops have measured many car models, and the distance between the reference lines is usually about 20 cm narrower than the car body. So when reversing, remember that the sides of the car will extend beyond the reference lines, and you need to leave enough space for safety. Also, pay special attention to the position of the side mirrors, as they are the most prone to scratches.
