The future of backing up
Posted on by Kolbe
Ugh, backing up a vehicle is such a drag! You either have to try and reverse your brain while you look through your mirrors, or you have to contort yourself into a twizzler-like twist to see straight out your back window. Now, some of you may be lucky enough to afford a car with a backup camera on it. If you are, you know how quickly you become reliant on the thing. It makes parallel parking a cinch, and forget about ever wondering where the family pet is before backing out of the driveway. Backup cameras make those situations an anxiety of the past. There’s good news for people like me who have only had the privilege of using a backup camera in cars I've rented or borrowed. The NTSB has ruled that in four years, by 2018, all new cars must come equipped with backup cameras. I'm all for it, these cameras save lives and make reversing a million times easier. We do, however, need to get this whole selfie craze under control before we haphazardly give another camera to most of America's teenagers. That aside, bring it on!
