The screen/infotainment system seems to be held to a lower standard of quality than the embedded electronics that control your engine/steering/other safety critical systems, maybe because before you put that visual on the screen, it's not yet safety-critical. I've definitely had backup/side video feeds freeze/stutter in cars before, really don't want that when changing lanes on a highway.
- askvictor 4y agoI would imagine (hope?) that they'd treat side-mirror-replacement-cameras as a safety critical system. I guess the valid metric would be a comparison of chance of the side mirror camera system failing vs chance of your side mirror being knocked off by a passing car (or the auto-retraction motors activating unexpectedly)
