Can't stand stupid things like push button starts being foisted on us as "new and improved" but I have to say the backup cameras are an actual useful innovation.

My parent's house has a narrow driveway that's a pain to back out of, but the cameras make it a much easier experience. Even my dad--who's more adverse to bells and whistles on cars than I am--has said the camera on his new car has been a good thing.
