Almost no surprise here that Toyota is somewhere on the list, considering its one of the most popular automakers in the world. Driver in the state of California and Hawaii topped the search areas while the Camry and Tacoma were the most searched cars from the Japanese automaker. Rounding out the top five was General Motors but it wasn't for any astonishing debuts or new car announcements.

| Cadillac CT6 to get Digital Rearview Mirror Posted: Share this Article Cadillac is looking for new ways to improve safety through advanced technologies. The American automaker has announced that it will add high-resolution streaming video to its rearview mirrors late next year, allowing a rearview that's unobstructed by passengers, headrests and the vehicle's roof and rear pillars. The company estimates that the streaming video improves field of vision by an estimated 300 percent, or roughly four times greater than a normal mirror. SEE ALSO: 2016 Cadillac CTS-V Rumored to Pack 640 HP Featuring a high dynamic range, the camera's video feed helps reduce glare for a crisper image even in low-light situations. The mirror's display is an industry-leading 1280 x 240 TFT-LCD display with 171 pixels per inch. To help keep the camera clean it features a water-shedding hydrophobic coating. Expect the new technology to debut on the 2016 Cadillac CT6. "In addition to the increased field of view, the technology eliminates any rear seat, rear pillar or passenger obstructions, allowing the driver an unimpeded view of the lanes behind and traditional blind-spots," said Travis Hester, Cadillac CT6 executive chief engineer.
