This. I drive cars from the 90s for a combination of economic and nostalgia/aesthetic reasons, but every time I get in a recent model, I'm struck by how many of them have seriously compromised fields of visibility by comparison.
Is it just that there's no institutional rating of this sort of thing? I can't imagine that insurers would leave that stone unturned. Or is it really that it makes less of a difference than I'd believe?

The ADAC gives school grades and explanations of the visibility for tested cars; most cars get shit-tier grades. E.g. the BMW X1 gets a straight 5.0 (fail) for rear view and 3,5 overall. Many cars cannot be safely reversed alone without having a backup camera — which is often an extra feature.
