Possibly a good idea, but will it make people do less checks like simply looking over the should - probably yes.

Cars are basically smartphones on wheels. They will be smothered in cameras in 20 years' time.

wtf. Difficult to argue if it helps rubbish drivers save lives. How much parallel parking do you have to do in the States anyway??

I actually enjoy the skill of getting my car into a tight space with no sensors. I absolutely hate it if a good samaritan wannabe tries to direct me from the outside, if anything it distracts me.

Drive any US car today and the rearward vision is terrible. Most drivers are too lazy to turn round and look anyway even when changing lanes.

Then USA should be the perfect market for Evora S and Exige S with their "letterbox" rear visibility!
