Toyota's Latest Patent Puts All Those Onboard Cameras to a New Use

Toyota has filed a patent that would repurpose the numerous cameras already built into modern vehicles, turning them into a hands-free camera for the driver. Rather than adding new hardware, the filing looks to put existing onboard lenses to a new use. It is a reminder of how much sensing equipment already surrounds today's cars, waiting for a fresh purpose.
