Wonder why?
Now imagine if a Trumpster was in charge of this department, think they would require auto mfgs do ANYTHING at all?

My last new car had it as an option that I declined because I didn't need it and didn't want to pay for it. Now I will be forced to.

Most new cars are already being installed with touch screen entertainment systems, this would just be a plug in.

this is the same thing - we take so much for granted, we ASSUME what is there today will be there tomorrow
Just list anything, like lawsuits.

Now I just back the hitch right under.
And parking is so easy.

(43,219 posts)Can't stand stupid things like push button starts being foisted on us as "new and improved" but I have to say the backup cameras are an actual useful innovation.
My parent's house has a narrow driveway that's a pain to back out of, but the cameras make it a much easier experience. Even my dad--who's more adverse to bells and whistles on cars than I am--has said the camera on his new car has been a good thing.
