How The Hummer EV’s UltraVision Can Take You Further Off Road – SlashGear

It can provide solo feeds from each camera, showing what’s coming and what you’re running over. Even more beneficial, it can be split-screened to offer a combined view showing all four tires simultaneously when precision placement and maneuvering are critical. Not only do the underbody cameras have the Hummer’s skid plate protecting them, but they’re also covered with a transparent lens protector. Should the lenses get dirty (and you know they will), the driver can activate the nifty wash nozzle feature to clean away the gunk.

Other views include a side rearward POV looking down either side of the vehicle (from the external rearview mirrors) and include a trailer length indicator. When off-roading, this POV can be used to see the middle of the vehicle to avoid rocks or other obstacles. Surround View uses the cameras mounted on the outside rearview mirrors to show a top-down bird’s eye view of the entire vehicle.

UltraVision has some limitations, though. The cameras will not transmit images if the vehicle goes over 50 miles per hour. The undercarriage camera views won’t change while shifting between forward and reverse gears or if the vehicle is going faster than 8 miles per hour (for safety reasons). Additionally, some camera views need that extra “sold separately” camera, and the system isn’t compatible with every trailer. Also, some camera views don’t work when the Hummer is in CrabWalk mode.
