I'm not sure if back-up cameras would put kids' death to an end, but anyway, instead of loading the cars with more bells and whistles that eventually become too much of an interference over the driver's input, I don't agree with that. Why not trying to fix stupidity of reckless drivers instead of treating everyone else as uncapable to drive in a safe way? I'm OK with back-up cameras, they are indeed practical for most people, but I don't really believe it would "save" childrens' lives more than educating them about the dangers of jumping behind a car that's moving on reverse, for example.
Reckless drivers and negligent parents shoudn't be an excuse for "safety" gadgets becoming mandatory.
