Rear view mirrors are needed all the time. We're not talking about reversing cameras here.

Oh yes, we are

Rear view cameras are not a replacement for rear view mirrors, is my point. You use the two for different things. A rear view camera trying to replace a mirror would need a cleaning and wiping solution, something that we use rear window wipers for with analogue mirrors.
Which one is meant seems to be a major point of confusion in the thread.
