Automakers will be required to install backup cameras in most new vehicles by May 2018, a federal agency announced Monday. [cnn.com]

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finalized a long-awaited rule requiring all new cars, SUVs, and minivans, as well as some new small trucks and buses to carry rear visibility technology.

Your insurance is cheaper with a car that has a rearview camera on it.

I love mine, but I have become dependent on it. It's hard driving a car without cameras and sensors now laugh out loud.

You just like it when babies get killed when people back into their kids without looking to see what's behind them.

Isn't backing over people already against the law?

This is so stupid. It is dangerous to look at the dash when backing up. They should instead make backup sensors mandatory. Fark the cameras, use your mirrors.

Not everyone is as much of a fatass as Alvys, so you can't see some people behind you.

Next thing you know it will be illegal to not pander to your kids by not showing them enough emotional support.

Nah.....that will never happen. [telegraph.co.uk]

That's where my old fusion had it. I've seen that in a lot of cars.

I love the camera...but don't love mandatory.
