Exactly.
And after a couple generations of having them mandated, driver’s education will probably no longer teach people to look in their mirrors.
The average driver of the future will be as dependent on his back-up camera the current average driver is on automatic transmissions, anti-lock brakes and traction control.
If a complete doofus who admitted earlier in this thread that he doesn't look in his mirrors before backing up into someone doesn't have the common sense now to look in their rear-view mirror ---- what makes anyone think he'll suddenly develop the common sense to look at the video screen for his backup camera?!
You know what's gonna happen if these things become mandated: the kids will figure out how to wire their iPhones and Droids into it to play video while they're driving. Forget texting being a big killer, wait'll backup cameras and monitors becoming mandated.
