re: Anybody know how much a rear camera costs a car manufacturer?

I just upgraded from a 1996 to 2012 model car.

Got the first car while in high school from my dad.

I know what old people feel like now

I once drove a loaner BMW that my fiancee was given while her car was in the shop. I was 27 years old and didn't know WTF was going on in that thing.

And the market decides yes on backup cameras fwiw. We bought a new car about a year ago and every model we looked at had an integrated backup camera standard.

Most of these mandates come very much after the market has already decided. That is why they are easily passed. Of course, morons come later and say the government did something good and pushed the change, etc.
