The back up camera allows people to see things that you cannot see just from turning around or using your mirros.

A back up camera allows you to see a small child on a bike or a pet that you might not be able to see. It's a tool. It doesn't replace anything. But you knew that...

And for a hundred years, people managed to back up without them, yes?

Why, I'm sure that you even managed to back up without the use of a camera, before it's invention, yes?
It's a safety feature.

Don't use it if you have such a problem with it.

A "safety feature" that people somehow managed to live without for many decades, yes?

As for my car, it isn't even on there.

If it was, I would have them remove it, or disable it.

I have been around to backup just fine since 1989, and haven't needed it in all of those years, and don't need it now.

I know how to back up without it.

No piece of "technology" can ever replace good old fashioned experience.

I trust myself, not some computerized gizmo.

Seat belts are a safety feature many people lived without for many years also.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

Honestly, it's surprising how much wider your view is with the back up camera.

There is no way to see underneath the rear window just from turning your head around or using your mirrors.

I would rather be safe than sorry backing up...

And yet, and yet, and yet, people somehow managed to back up for decades before they were invented, yes?

Why, I'm certain that even you somehow managed to back up without it, before it was invented, yes?

What would you do if it broke, and it was weeks before you could get it fixed, and you had to back up?

What would you do???

You just seem to want to argue.

I don't know what your point is anymore.

Why are you so against an additional tool that makes driving safer? It by no means replaces looking around or using mirrors. Seems like you just want to argue for the sake of arguing.

And some people even managed to run over and kill their children and pets.

I know of a former neighbor who crushed his young daughter while backing out onto the street from his drive way. He hasn't I'm told recovered from the trauma.

I think that many lives have been saved by this technology.

@Plaid Pants2, Seems so silly to want to disable a back up camera, but want to install a dash cam in case you get pulled over by the police.

That is why I am holding on to my 2000 venture van. It has no bells and whistles. My husband bought a 2016 Kia this year and it has all those bells and whistles and I can not figure out anything......of course he loves all the high tech things. Not me!

I'm sorry for your former neighbor.

But in all the years that I have been driving, and all the years that my dad has been driving, we have never had one single accident while backing up, and I am certain that we are not the only two people in the U.S. to have gone their whole entire driving lives, and not had a single accident while backing up, all without the use of a camera.

Can you explain that?

It isn't luck.

It's skill.

A skill that will disappear as technology does the driving and thinking for us.
