This initiative is actually based on the law that the United States Congress has passed in 2008 but the requirement was only formally announced in 2014 by the Department of Transportation. According to the new regulations, new models should now feature rearview cameras and video displays as these can help prevent accidents in which pedestrians are run over because drivers can’t see what’s happening when they are backing their cars.

In short, reversing cameras are no longer just a novelty; these are standards and should be installed in all types of vehicles in the same of safety.
