This has been a thing for more than a year, I don’t know what they are talking about.
All 2017 cars were required to have it.
I put one in my 2003 Suburban as a retrofit, and I LOVE it. It makes all of life so much better. I’m putting one in my 02 CRV next.
But this technology only works as well as it’s user. My mother in law has it, and she will look right at someone as she backs into them.
And when a user relies on it near kids, thats not really the intent of it. It’s like when Cadillac put night vision on their cars that only 80 year olds can afford. They wind up going faster down these dark roads and taking more chances.
Yes. The majority of vehicles involved in accidents when the weather is snowy or icy are SUVs and 4WD and AWD vehicles. People think they can drive like it's nice and dry out. I noticed as 4WD, AWD, and ABS became more prevalent there seem to be more accidents during inclement weather. People drive like maniacs relying on these systems instead of common sense.
