There really is a benefit for a Mazda MX-5 Miata to have a backup camera? It would be far more of a distraction than just swiveling your head. Not to mention the e-waste cost of all the useless components in millions of similar cars.
One size fits all solutions should be the rarest of the rare, not the norm. Tire pressure sensors? Sure - useful and most people don't think to check (heck I don't check as often as I should!). But complex crap like cameras and screens in a car the size of a go-cart? Utterly ridiculous and beyond wasteful.
- alistairSH 5y agoDo you drive a Miata? I did for years. Rearward visibility with the top up was pretty terrible. No rear quarter windows, the rear window was tiny. Yeah, the driver should turn their head and look, just as with any car, but they don't and they back into things. As the old saying goes, "this is why we can't have nice things."
