So backup cameras on cars mandatory starting May 2018? [View all]

Wonder why?

On March 31, 2014, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that it would require all automobiles sold in the United States built beginning in May 2018 to include backup cameras. On October 31, 2016, Transport Canada issued a similar mandate beginning at the same time.

Now imagine if a Trumpster was in charge of this department, think they would require auto mfgs do ANYTHING at all?
