Suggested additional link: Fitting a Reversing Camera Not added to main article as it is for a site I represent. Can another editor please review and include if it is a helpful addition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.229.61 (talk) 13:35, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Back-up collision

I put in an addition to this article which is from the article indicated above. Wanted to acknowledge their contribution. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:28, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Requested move

Backup is not a word. The title of this page should be "Back up camera". I do not think it should be hyphenated either. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:02, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Question of relevance

Considering that the backup camera is an option on nearly all vehicles produced today, why is the Ford Escape listed in the examples section as being available with a backup camera? It's completely random and relatively irrelevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.81.155 (talk) 02:29, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Law

There's no source given for the NHTSA estimate of adding a backup camera. Also, the estimates I've seen didn't account for estimated changes in insurance premiums and repair costs. A source should be listed, and there should be a mention of whether repair costs and insurance is factored in. 2602:306:80AB:60D0:0:0:0:28 (talk) 23:36, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Criticism?

Is there really no criticism to this law? I was just doing some math and this law basically means that people will collectively spend $10,400,000,000 (new registered cars for year 2014 * USA Today's minimum cost estimate of $40 per car) for a problem that only affects .005% of people per year ((people killed + people injured per year) / US population). I'd imagine some people would have a problem with this law. Additionally, I'd imagine people would argue that this problem should be avoided due to personal responsibility. They would argue a reasonably responsible parent should teach their kids to stay away from cars with reverse lights on in the parking lot (or better yet, always stay by their parents who are usually tall enough to be seen) and a reasonably responsible driver shouldn't whip out of a parking space.

Response: For cost/benefit, the most measurable benefit is not avoided deaths but avoided damage. Replacing a dented bumper is typically a USD$500 repair. The $40 backup camera pays for itself if the odds of a car suffering $500 damage due to a backup accident is worse than 1 in 12. Even in the context of superficial vehicle damage, it's common for new vehicles to be outfitted with features like paint protection film, door edge guards, door handle scratch protectors, side molding, sill guards. Each of those optional features can exceed the $40 cost of a backup camera. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.61.216.41 (talk) 20:09, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
