How do car 360 cameras work?

If there are four total cameras on the sides, front, and back of my car, how does it get a view from the top-down? How do these 360 camera images work?

Great question! The four cameras that you have noticed around your vehicle actually work with software to stitch an image together from their respective angles.
Depending on the vehicle you have, you can also see the angle more closely from just one of those camera displays. This can be helpful when you’re parallel parking and need to see where the curb is.
Some newer 360-degree camera systems also allow you to view different angles of the exterior of your vehicle, almost as if you’re standing a few feet away watching yourself park. This also uses advanced software to stitch images together and put your vehicle into the middle.
