Amazing to see so many Luddites here on HN. Backup cameras have become standard and incredibly reliable on all new cars. Sure, snow can cover a camera, but as someone who has spent lots of time scraping ice off a side view mirror, a camera seems a lot simpler to clear debris from. Mirrors win from KISS, but KISS is not what sells cars. Safety, reliability, and performance do. If the automotive industry can make cameras as safe, reliable, and performant as mirrors, then the benefits will be obvious and the feature will win.
