      The rate of decline of insects in the last few decades is quickly making that a non-issue.

      The United States, Canada, and Japan have the requirement, too. Australia’s takes effect in November 2025.

  Reversing camera

    Those things would be way more useful if they had a wider FOV. I hate how most people now use them as the only way of checking behind them when backing up, because you really can’t see shit well enough for that. It’s meant for seeing something small and close that even physically turning around to look, you wouldn’t see it. Like an animal or a child directly behind you.

    All they’ve done is make people drive less safe because so many people just stare at the fucking camera screen instead of actually turning their head and checking their blind spots.

    They are called rear vision mirrors/ side mirrors, and neck muscles.

      You can’t see something small right behind you with that.

        It served humanity just fine for decades. My car is 25 years old and never ran anything over. Look before you get in, check your mirrors, crane your neck, look over your shoulder, activate parts of your brain. I plan on never owning one of these over complicated modern cars. You do you though I guess.

      If you’d used one you would know they show you angles you can’t see otherwise.

        If it works for you, all good. It’s not for me though 👍
