you're getting a ton of criticism, but I have two cars, and only one has a backup camera. I reverse more safely in the car with no backup camera.

I've caught myself just backing up without thinking about it in the car with the backup camera. never done that in the old-school mirrors car.

I don't know if there are any studies that back up backup cameras.

I've read that people ride more dangerously, and are tested by car drivers less carefully, when wearing a cycle helmet. Perhaps there's a similar effect here -- I think we do tend to rely on safety equipment and ignore due diligence.
