IMO its just one more excuse. Driver aids are not required they may be helpful if you suck and can't drive though, they should be optional, not required.

I can parallel park, change lanes and every other thing I need to without that ****. If I have any doubt their's a kid behind my car, what do I do? I get the **** out and double check! Something that important, I'm not relying on a camera which has blind spots as well I'm sure. What if the kids crept down near the tire for example?

Tech may help, but it wont replace a good human driver, and all the more reason it should be optional not required.
