According to some newspaper article online, back up cameras have cut by

backs into a person.


I imagine those 10% are happy about it. Most cars have a terrible view
out the back.Â* I love the camera in my car. I have a 10,2" screen and
gives the back, of course, but also a surround view.Â*Â* Some cars to have
crappy small viewing screens and probably are not that good.

I have one and also an Eye Sight system which apparently has front and
rear emergency braking. Couple of weeks ago backing up in the Walmart
parking lot a woman darted in back of my car and a beep went off and car
appeared to slow down. It was disconcerting because my wife just
happened to call me at the time and the cell phone Blue Toothed to the
car also rang.

Using my separate GPS in the car for the first time, the radio stopped.
I don't know how it knew that the GPS was there but I found that the
radio had just turned itself way down and I probably could have used it
with the GPS on.

Sometimes you can tinker with the cars options to get the behavior that
you want.
