Real vision is fucked when you can’t actually see what’s behind your car.

Cameras will prevent a lot of unnecessary property damage, and more importantly, fully mitigate risk of killing humans/animals that are behind the car and outside the field of view.

No one is arguing cameras shouldn’t exist. In fact, back up cameras are mandatory in the US. But replacing mirrors and windows with cameras is bad, actually.
Yes, their purpose and usefulness is obvious. As a supplement. Mirrors should be left as they are.
Lots of cars don't combine the rear-view mirror and backup camera into the same thing. (And shouldn't.)
