A rear view display system for a motor vehicle, the rear view display system comprising; a rear view camera 4 configured to capture a rear view image; a windscreen display 6 selectively displaying the rear view image on a windscreen of the vehicle; an eye tracking camera 8 for tracking the eye of a driver of the vehicle; and a controller 10 for determining where the driver is currently looking based on data from the eye tracking camera; wherein the controller is further configured to selectively display the rear view image on the windscreen 12 when it is determined that the driver is looking at or is predicted to look at a predetermined region of the windscreen. The controller may pre-emptively display the rear view image if the drivers line of sight is moving towards the predetermined region. The display may also be activated if a hazard is detected or predicted at the rear of the vehicle, and/or if the vehicle is in one or more driving modes. The display may comprise a projector or a screen provided on or embedded into the windscreen. A deployable mirror may be provided if the system fails.
