With the launch of cars without rear windows, such as the Polestar 4 and the Jaguar Type 00, experts suggest that this could become a trend for future models.

Instead of rear windows, these cars feature high-definition cameras, which automakers claim would enhance the driver’s visibility.

The manufacturers’ goal is to improve aerodynamics and provide more interior space, especially in more compact electric cars, combining this functionality with the futuristic aesthetics of EVs.

Other examples of cars without rear windows include the Avatr 06 and the Tesla Cybercab, which is so modern that it lacks both a steering wheel and pedals, being operated with a video game controller.

However, experts warn about the downsides of relying on cameras this way. If there is an electrical failure in the car, rear visibility would be completely compromised. Additionally, maintenance would be much more expensive in case of defects.
