BACKGROUND In vehicles today, it may be black for a -Ware to provide a sufficiently good picture of surrounding traffic, including vehicles present in the vicinity of the vehicle. In the case of, for example, lane changes and reruns, this is associated with a risk of collision. An aid used to obtain a better view of the traffic layer is used rear-view mirrors, which may be arranged at the front of the vehicle to enable the provision of vision sectors to be skewed in relation to the direction of travel of the vehicle. It is an edge that these do not give a sufficiently good picture, as a so-called "clod angle" is shown. A driver who does not try to turn his head in order to be able to determine external vehicles is at the said angle, there is a greater risk of exposing himself and other road users to immediate danger, for example during a overtaking or when changing lanes. This problem is greater with vehicles of the bus or truck type, where the possibility of looking at the angle of view without mirrors can be reduced due to the configuration of the vehicle, also with regard to goods and passengers.

Det finns idag losningar for att styra positionering av sidobackspeglar for forbattrad sikt for en -Ware. US20120022749 och US20020175810 beskriver forfaranden for att styra en sidobackspegel, vilken styrning aktiveras av aktivering av en blinkersignal.
