Too Afraid to Ask

The front camera is a small camera on the car’s front that helps the driver see what’s in front, especially useful when driving uphill or around corners.

The front camera is a sensor mounted on the vehicle’s front, typically near the grille or bumper, that captures live video of the road ahead. It feeds into driver assistance systems like forward collision warning and lane keeping aid.
