An easy improvement is to copy what many Honda models do: when the driver flips the signal indictor show the the rear (or better the side) camera view on half of the display. Tesla has a way to show rear camera on half the screen, but it is all time or none at all. While not as good as the radar based systems, something I could live with.
If Tesla put up the appropriate side rearward facing camera and the back camera when the turn signal was triggered it would be very nice. The footage that Tesla has previously released shows those rearward facing side cameras provide quality black and white views. (check out the video at Here’s what Tesla’s Autopilot 2.0 can see with its 8 cameras)
They may be able to combine the rearward side cameras on the front fender with the view from the B pillar cameras that look forwards and create a composite wide view of the area to the side of the car. I don't know how that would look but if it worked it would be very nice.
