I have now rented four vehicles recently, but two were Mirages. They had the largest backup camera display, but I park better when I use The Force than the CGI lines. The U-Haul van had a backup screen built into the rearview mirror. I always wonder why they don't make the screen take up more of the mirror. How much of the sky and ground do I need to see?

However, it was great for knowing how much space I had left. I always hop out and check when I need to park within two feet of something, but the camera gives me a far better idea of how close I am.

Cameras make far more sense than a rearview mirror in a cargo vehicle.

My hope for cameras is that they give you a better view when the sun is setting behind you, there are cars with brights, etc.
