Oh and have any of you thought about this? The backup cameras have blind spots also. If the driver is staring into the smallish monitor screen, the camera can't tell if Suzie is going to run from teh side to right behind the car backing up, whereas if you're looking behind you it will be apparent. YOure STLL going to have to pay attention to everything outside the canera's field of view before you start to back in AND you'll have to check all around instead of switching your attention solely to the video screen.

No, but a train horn can. Generally it will elicit an immediate response.

Or so I've been told.
