>the backup camera has to come from DOT-registered backup camera factories
Does that mean you can't have a street legal car in the US without a backup camera? Or if it does have a backup camera it has to come from a DOT-registered factory? If the latter then why not just disable it? Or that's not even enough?
- colinmhayes 4y agoYes, I believe new cars need to have backup cameras in the us and Europe. Old cars are grandfathered.
- Arrath 4y agoYes backup cameras are mandated for new vehicles now. The regulation was put into place starting MY 2020.
- bri3d 4y agoThe author of this article does not understand FMVSS or DOT regulations. 1) Yes, this is true, for several years the FMVSS has required backup cameras for full speed cars. However, this isn't true for low speed vehicles. 2) This just isn't true at all. FMVSS do not require factories to be certified in any specific way. https://www.rearviewsafety.com/pub/static/version1558698936/frontend/rearviewsafety/theme/en_US/images/FMVSS-111-Full-Compliance.pdf https://www.rearviewsafety.com/pub/static/version1558698936/... These are the requirements. Manufacturers self-attest that they comply. The NHTSA reserves the right to respond to complaints or independently inspect their vehicles. They don't inspect or register "factories."
