As has already been stated. If a camera dies you replace it just like you would if your mirror broke or got sideswiped and ripped off. I've seen plenty of those.

True. This can be taken really far if one tries hard enough. A mirror can freeze, and the heater can malfunction for example.
Now don't get me wrong on this.
The idea of cameras as mirrors is good, and good for aerodynamics. And cameras bring safety to trucks/heavy machinery by showing all the blind spots. My point was that mirrors are way more reliable than cameras.
In my opinion, cameras could be used more in "people-cars" where you are not that much in deep poo if you lose one or two mirrors. You still see stuff through the windows.
