I think rear view camera's are great. But I'm not sure I want to mandate every car and truck have one. There is a market for cheap vehicles and this is another additional cost that I'm not so sure the life savings is as great as described by the Auto Safety groups. Here's a little from the article:
"The federal government said it will recommend that new cars have rear-view video systems, a move immediately denounced as "insufficient" by safety groups who say the cameras should be mandatory.
The NHTSA action "is an inadequate substitute for issuing a mandatory safety regulation," Jackie Gillan, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, said in a statement. "In fact, safety advocates are concerned that NHTSA's announcement is an attempt to divert attention from their failure to act."
