I'd still want mirrors for backup. What if the camera became obscured or broken while driving?
Same for self-driving cars. Cool, but still have a manual override. If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun. |

Ditto on that. I want my car to have reliable parts that aren't going to break without notice and put me and any passengers in danger. Electronics are not 100% reliable and if the computer running the camera crashes, I don't want sudden blind spots when I'm on the I-10!
If we're talking cameras *in addition to* mirrors, then yeah, I'm all for that - anything to reduce blind spots. "Dangerous toys are fun, but you could get hurt!" |
