Backup cameras to become mandatory?

[Texas Jim]

Matt...my answers are in RED...

but what I don't care for is Tire Pressure Monitoring and possible backup cameras.

I got in the car the other day when it was real cold...and it "DINGED" at me and told me to check the right rear tire because it only had 27 lbs of air in it.
I then aired it up with my compressor...

I don't like the fact that people no longer have to have enough common sense to look at a tire and say "oh, that doesn't look good" when it needs air.

Actually, unless you use a gauge on the newer, lower profile tires...you can't tell if one is low...It has to be darn near FLAT before it even starts to LOOK low.


Next they'll have sensors to tell when the puck on a brake caliper is out too far instead of people hearing the brakes squeal.

Most newer cars and trucks already have that.
When they make noise...if you replace your pads quickly...it will keep from tearing up the rotors.

I'm sure there are people that don't do anything unless a little light comes on on their dash.

There are a "BUNCH" of those...and a large percentage of "THEM" even ignore the warning lights.
They just drive till it quits...and then complain that it is not a good vehicle.

I haven't been backed over yet, so I have no opinion.

They became standard on all of our company trucks last year. He have 100s. We installed Audiovox cameras on each truck that didn't have one, company-wide.

Hrmmm... I wonder who the leading manufacturers of these cameras are? Maybe buy some stock before the demand goes way up and the stock follows suit..

But, but, that would require the Govt have common sense


I wish I had a backup cam, but I don't think it should be mandated. I can back just fine, but hell if it makes it that much easier or makes it that much less likely that I'm going to run over a little kid I'm all for it.
