    Backup cameras are cool but they’ll never stay backup cameras. Give manufacturers that screen, and well, if you have it, you’ve gotta use it

    The Sprinter I used to drive for work had a backup proximity alarm that beeped faster as you got closer to walls/cars/etc; it was fantastic. Only downside is I don’t know how well it would detect people

        Touchscreens are fine too. Just not for vital functions. I don’t give a shit that the ac in my car is controlled via touchscreen, because I set it to the desired temperature and never touch it otherwise. But it does annoy me as fuck that I have to use the touchscreen to change fon hybrid to full electric mode for example. They could have added a button for that ffs.

      One time I rented a uhaul van and it had a backup camera that would show up in the rear view mirror. Not the whole thing mirror, but it had a little screen embedded in it.
