Therefore, even if there are obstacles and people like certain objects including other cars in front and back of the car by recording, the driver will move forward and backward without recognizing them. It is invented so that it can be prevented in advance and also usefully used as data necessary to check the driver's fault in case of various traffic accidents.

종래의 자동차에는 전후방부의 주변환경을 촬상하여 모니터링시켜 주는 장치가 구비되어 있지 않아, 운전자는 단지 자신의 육안을 통해 전방을 확인하거나, 아니면 사이드 및 백미러를 통해 후방을 확인하고 자동차를 전진 또는 후진시켜야만 된다.Conventional vehicles are not equipped with a device that monitors the surrounding environment of the front and rear, so the driver only needs to check the front through his own eyes or the rear through the side and rearview mirrors and move the vehicle forward or backward. do.

그런데, 각각의 자동차에 따라서는 운전석에 앉아 전후방의 주변환경을 쉽게 확인할 수 있는 것이 있는가 하면 그렇지 않는 경우 즉, 육안 또는 각 미러를 통해 확인할 수 없는 사각지대가 존재하기 마련이며, 특히 대형 자동차의 경우 사이드 미러나 백미러만으로 확인할 수 없는 부위가 많아 자동차를 출발시키기에 앞서 필히 자동차의 주변을 돌아 보면서 육안으로 장애물이 존재하는지의 여부를 확인해야만 접촉사고와 같은 교통안전사고 및 인사사고의 발생을 방지할 수 있다.However, some cars can sit in the driver's seat and easily check the surrounding environment of the front and rear. Otherwise, there are blind spots that cannot be seen through the naked eye or each mirror. There are many parts that cannot be identified with only the side mirrors or rearview mirrors. Before starting the car, you must look around the car to check whether there are any obstacles to the naked eye to prevent traffic safety accidents such as contact accidents and personnel accidents. Can be.

그럼에도 불구하고, 대부분의 운전자는 상기와 같이 하차하여 주변을 확인하지 않고 그데로 자동차를 전진 또는 후진하는 경향이 있어 타 자동차 또는 각종 장애물과의 접촉으로 인한 안전사고가 빈번하게 발생되고 있는 실정에 있고, 특히 어린이나 유아등과 같이 키가 매우 작은 사람의 경우 자동차의 내부에서는 육안으로 식별하지 못하고 자동차를 주행(특히 후진의 경우)시키므로 인한 인사사고가 자주 발생되는 실정이다.Nevertheless, most drivers tend to move forwards or backwards without checking the surroundings by getting off as described above, so that safety accidents are frequently caused by contact with other vehicles or various obstacles. In particular, in the case of a very short person such as a child or infant, the inside of the car is not identified with the naked eye, and the car is driven (especially in the case of backwards), so accidents are frequently caused.
