Same here. Sensory overload if you ask me. Look over my left shoulder, look over my right shoulder, look in the rear view mirror, look at my right exterior mirror, look at my left exterior mirror, look at the backup camera screen... Arggggh! I actually feel less safe; by the time I’ve checked all those sources of info, the Macy’s day parade could’ve passed by behind me.

Depth perception is horrible on these cameras. Just try and use it to park.

I drive a rear blind vehicle a full size conversion van. When I back up I do two things. I put on my back up lights then look as good as I can in the mirrors and turning my head. I give a couple short taps on the horn and back on out slowly. In 30 years of driving mostly conversion vans I have not had any problems. Generally though I'd rather back in and pull out if at all possible. Backing in you have a fresh look before backing up.
