I was not aware of this before. It sounds good but it sounds like one more thing to break to me. Will they require backup warnings next? If it will save one life...

This day and age, it’s not a big deal, and it is quite a useful feature on my newer car. I wish my Expedition had one! Wife has backed into many things...

We need cameras because theres no rear window anymore. The entire car is one flipping air bag container.

Don’t like back up cameras. Too easy to rust on basic skills, like backing up your car. That said, right now back up cams are a convenience, but if it breaks, whatever. Now will you be required to get it fixed when it breaks?

Hmmm. 🎥. Perhaps that's why ford is dropping so many models. Costly cameras and designing where to put them. I got part of it for them.. Psssst. In the back. 💰😹

Can they have a device that jams all texting applications?

This day is so important because we dont have a choice No choice. Just another law on the books. Will we be required to fix it if it breaks? A lot of states have state inspections. Is it an essential safety device now?

I like the mirrors on my truck. You can program them to tilt automatically to your favorite angle when you put it into reverse.

I was wondering that too. Some states have inspections so if it breaks will you be denied an inspection sticker?

Modern cars have so many blind spots that a rear view camera has become necessary.

They are requiring something that is pretty much already standard. Heck, our two year old Scion iA came standard with one, and that is an el-cheapo car.
It’s as if the government thinks that creating useless laws is a zero sum game. They shouldn’t pass a law unless it is truly necessary. This one isn’t. It’s stupid and a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Can they have a device that jams all texting applications? Nope, that would be unfair to the millennials.

So how much is this going to add to the cost of a car? They will keep thinking up crap like this and making it mandatory so as to jack thr price of vehicles up so high that the only way a poor person will be able to travel is by public transportation.

Ford is hurting because they build cars nobody wants to buy.

The new Toyota Camry’s will essentially drive themselves on long freeway straight sections. It’s only on the curves that you may have to take the wheel.
It is clear that we are not suddenly going to get “self driving” cars. It will be incrementalized. A little here, a little there, and the next thing you know you’re talking to the people in the back seat, facing them from the driver’s seat.
