Frontovers is the highest growing category of accident. They're happening because people can't see small children over the hood of their emotional support freedom truck, orphan crushing model.

Yes, cell phones but mostly lack of visibility.

Pulled into a parking lot the other day and one of those beasts had a camera in the grill. Didnt look after market so I looked it up and up they’re OEM. Maybe your damn truck is too big?

I've got a camera in the grill, one on each mirror, and one on the back, and they mesh together to create a top-down view of the car when I'm parking.

My crossover is a "mid-size" and pretty reasonable in dimensions compared to other vehicles on the road, and all those cameras are absolutely fucking necessary to park it.
