Fontaine International, one of North America's largest fifth wheel manufacturers, and LaneScan LLC, the intelligent mirror technology company, have announced a working agreement that the two firms say will eliminate driver blind spots on the sides of trucks.

Lanescan's AutoView technology uses sensors mounted to a Fontaine fifth wheel to automatically rotate the right mirror so that it continuously keeps the right rear corner of the trailer in the driver's view – even on wide turns of 75 degrees or more – regardless of the trailer length.
It also makes "blind side" backing maneuvers safer and easier by eliminating the driver's blind spot. In addition, this advanced mirror technology assists drivers in heavy traffic. With the push of a button, the driver can scan the "blind spot" before merging, turning or changing lanes.
Release the button and the mirrors return to their normal preset position. This is especially valuable for reducing accidental damage caused by lack of driver visibility. The fifth wheel actuated AutoView is available exclusively on Fontaine fifth wheels. AutoView is the only technology on
the market today with this patented automatic scanning feature to reduce costly blind spot
accidents for tractors.
