A blind spot in vehicles are part of areas that cannot be directly observed under existing circumstances. [1] Blind spots exist in a wide range of vehicles, from cars, trucks, motorboats and aircraft.
[edit] Motorboats
Blind spots also exist in front of boats.[2] When the boat accelerates, the bow raises, increasing the size of the blind spot. Large vessels can have up to several hundreds of meters of blind spot. To address this, cameras are sometimes placed in the front of the vessel to cover the missing field of view.
