Maybe that's something to work on there. Rather than having a fisheye lens or pinhole, the camera should have a similar field of view that a mirror would provide, and have adjustment controls like power mirrors have. Even better would be adjustable aperture for night/day driving! I suppose you could do that electronically rather than mechanically.

That ought to satisfy some of the Man's objections at least.
