What does a car 360-degree panoramic image mean?

Here is an introduction to the 360-degree panoramic reversing image: 1. The 360-degree panoramic reversing image is a set of real-time image information that allows viewing a 360-degree panoramic fusion of the car's surroundings on the vehicle display screen, with an ultra-wide viewing angle and seamless splicing. It helps drivers understand the blind spots around the vehicle and assists them in parking more intuitively and safely. 2. The 360-degree panoramic reversing image is also known as the panoramic parking image system or the panoramic parking assist system. The functions of the car 360-degree panoramic image are as follows: 1. The panoramic bird's-eye view for parking assistance is more intuitive. Whether parking forward or backward, or parallel parking, there are no issues. It improves parking efficiency, effectively prevents parking scratches, and reduces trouble for the car owner. 2. In situations such as narrow roads, narrow bridges, potholes or obstacles on the road, or narrow road meetings, using the 360-degree panoramic image can easily solve the problem. 3. When climbing a steep slope, the normal view is of the sky ahead, making it impossible to see the actual state in front. Through the screen, everything in front of the car can be seen. 4. Eliminating blind spots during turns enhances safety. The camera is positioned in front of the driver, allowing them to see the road ahead in advance, especially during turns, where the blind spots of the left and right rearview mirrors can be seen. The application effect of the system is more pronounced.
I think the 360-degree panoramic imaging system is about installing four cameras on the car—one each at the front, rear, left, and right—then the system stitches these images together into a complete bird's-eye view displayed on the central control screen. This way, I can see all the blind spots around the car from inside, almost like playing a virtual driving game. Especially during parallel parking, the screen shows virtual parking lines, making it clear exactly how much to turn the wheels. Even if the rearview mirrors are blurry on rainy days, I can just turn on the panoramic view and rely on the screen. However, it's important to note that if the cameras get dirty or covered in mud during rain, the image will also blur, so they need to be cleaned promptly.
I use this 360-degree panoramic camera system every day while driving, it's like adding a pair of sky eyes to the car. Wide-angle cameras are hidden in both front and rear bumpers, displaying a bird's-eye view on the screen upon activation - you can even see pebbles near the wheels. Last week at the market, it helped me avoid hitting an elderly woman squatting to sort vegetables while reversing. Nowadays even mid-range domestic cars come standard with this feature, which novice drivers heavily rely on. But be warned: image noise increases in low-light conditions at night, and the sudden screen transition when entering tunnels can be dazzling. Experienced drivers should still double-check with side mirrors for safety.
