"Researchers at Tokyo’s Keio University have also created a “see-through” Toyota Prius, which makes the back of the car appear completely transparent.
An optical camouflage system makes the backseat disappear from sight, giving the driver a full-view of what’s behind their car when parking.
It does this by taking video footage of the space behind the vehicle, then projecting it on to the back seats, giving the illusion of transparency.
Basically you can see what’s behind you.
One of the developers of the invisibility technology, Masahiko Inami, says: “The driver will feel like he’s driving a glass car."
