backup cams are required on new cars in some jurisdictions, including u.s., canada, european union..

I could also see that being a sinister move to normalize cameras in cars. As usual "safety!!!" Is the death knell of privacy.

I installed a backup camera that is always on and replaced the rear view mirror on my 1980s van because the rear window was partially obscured by the factory camping equipment. The van is so slow you need to know what’s behind you before changing lanes and it was difficult to back up in certain angles even with great side mirrors.

Modern cars with rollover and better crash structures have even worse rearward visibility and really do benefit from back up cameras. Unfortunately with the types of cars being sold in the last 25 years, bigger pillars and airbags are needed if you want to survive an accident.

When I drive my van I treat it like a motorcycle and assume everyone is out to kill my if I get complacent.

Youre blind if you dont see thats the exact reason for it. You also think flock promotes safety and data centers are solely for fun generative image creation I'm sure. Nothing nefarious at all going on.

You really should be putting your full ID on here to post so we can verify it. Since that's also "safe".
