Cars required to have back up cameras by 2018

When does auto-braking become mandatory?

Back up cameras rock.


Think of the children!

My old bosses wife tahoe had it. She still backed into all sorts of shit.

I know multiple women drivers who have backed into things even though they had backup cameras and sensors.

My buddy backed his brand-new Ford Edge with backup camera + 9" screen right into the side of my full-size pickup a few months ago. So yeah, that's gonna fix a lot of issues......

Sometimes, dumbfuckery still wins at losing.

Cars are already so outrageously priced that there is trouble with sales. But don't worry everyone, you can finance your car with 18 airbags and a back up camera for seven years now.

Ban backing up!

It's a cheap safety feature that doesn't degrade the appearance or performance of the vehicle at all, so why cry about it?

I beg to differ. Extra weight... Camera, wiring, display screen. All that extra weight will slow the car down as it has to pull the extra poundage!

Just choose the clear coat delete option and you save about the same amount of weight... Problem solved!

My ex wife backed in to someone in our old Murano, that had a back up camera. This won't solve anything.


My new truck didn't come with one, but I'll be adding a camera to it for the sole purpose of hitching trailers.

I love having the backup camera in the TL, mainly just to be able to get as close as possible to the garage door when parking it in there.

I still look around when using it in public, but it is a nice to have. Making it mandatory is retarded.

I would like to put one on my Suburban, though it is really low on the priority list. It's tough to see through the tinted windows at night. Especially backing out of my driveway since my street is really dark. Maybe if I ever replace the factory stereo I will get one that can add the camera.

You can buy an aftermarket one that replaces your rearview for something like $100.

Would that eliminate the compass and temp currently on my mirror? I actually like both of those features.

I guess I could get one with the stand alone display, but don't really want more shit on my dash.

I think so, but there are likely other options out there as well. I was getting some darker tint last week and the shop sells other car electronic crap and they had a few plug and play rearview mirror back up cameras for various modern cars. Might do some looking around and see what you can find, or maybe even EW knows.

Would that eliminate knowing my cardinal directions and rolling down my window to figure out the temp? I actually like both of those features.
