I can’t understand why a regulatory group would feel the need to make that a requirement. That vastly increases the cost to develop a vehicle.
Why can’t I choose that feature as a consumer? Did their brother in law have the patent for backing cameras?
- Tostino 2y agoI get it, but the reasoning behind it was that little kids kept getting run over by their parents / family members because they couldn't see them. The cost at this point is pretty negligible. Mandate went into effect (in the US) in 2018: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup_camera#Mandates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup_camera#Mandates
- liontwist 2y agoThanks for the info. Yeah the cost is negligible if you are already planning to have a screen running chrome on Ubuntu server, but I hope it was still an option not to have that.
- mrguyorama 2y agoUh no. Pretty much every single backup camera on every single vehicle is the exact same little module that produces analog video and literally just runs a component cable to the head unit which has a standardized analog video input. Zero software required.
- liontwist 2y agoIf that’s true I feel much more at peace.
