Geez, how did we ever do without: backup cameras, back up sensors, stay between the lines sensors, blind spot sensors, etc, etc.
I guess it was just good old fashioned look around, pay attention, listen, watch your mirrors and learn the basics and learn to DRIVE. What ever happened to having the basic compentencey to do it yourself rather than rely on something or someone else to do the right thing for you? Hey I'm a big proponent of technology and intelligent safety features when the worst case happens, but.....

They have it in vehicles with Onstar now (Lambdas) in the rear view mirror. It is a cool feature and it is nice they have incorporated it in a way that does not require an expensive nav upgrade. Also, just back up sensors that beep without the camera can help. Remember if they add this feature it would mean the ugly sensors on the back bumper, so maybe the camera is the way to go!
Agreed, it is not "as needed" in the Camaro compared to SUVs, trucks. |

We're too distracted now

'We' now have way more distractions then just the girlfriend next to us. Too many drivers are texting, talking on cell phones, eating, checking emails on Blackberrys and such to focus on driving. People don't even think about how potentially dangerous driving can be when they don't pay attention. All these things are alarms to bring us back to driving from the other stuff.

I would like to see the DOT allow cameras to replace all of the mirrors, think of the design options when you don't have to have side view mirrors, or a rear window.

How about a rear view mirror that actually shows the whole width of the rear window.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd pay money to have an onstar delete! I'd prefer a real navigation system and a back up camera 100 times more than onstar. Onstar seems to be nothing more than a forced option that allows GM to make never-ending revenue off of something that people would not order as an option. IMHO, that's why the force fed it in most GM vehicles as standard equipment. I have a back up camera on my Honda Pilot, and I can't emphasize enough how useful it is. You can parallel park in much tighter spaces than you can imagine with the back up camera. I have parking sensors too, but I find the camera much more useful. Just my 2 cents.

Hadn't I read somewhere that in the Japanese Gen5's that Sirrus was deleted and a in dash screen nav unit takes its place. I don't remember if a back up camera was incorporated into the system though.....................anyone have other info on this?
