It's one piece of tech that makes life universally easier. Especially on car dependent continents.

That being said, I'd take large European mirrors that know to go down when car is put in reverse and basic sensor over this any day.

I'm from Europe, so probably that's my surprise. Most of the cars around here are still (I hope we will never reach what's in the US) mostly city-compact cars (VW golf size) so visibility is quite OK and rear mirror + sensor is more than enough.

(though, I'm now in Chile and amount of huge cars/SUVs/trucks/pick-ups on the street is simply mind-boggling... whhhhyyyy on earth one would drive this monstrosity in the city?!)
