Many of the parents in these stories later bought backup cameras like the one in the article. Most importantly, they feel the cameras or similar rear-obstacle detection systems, should be standard safety devices just like seat belts, airbags, etc. (Rearview mirrors can't see short children, and most backovers are children under 5.)

Yes, they do add costs -- just like other auto safety devices. But IMHO it is worth it to add less than one percent to the cost of a car, in order to help prevent the 100 children's deaths, and 2500 injuries, that occur every year in U.S. auto backover accidents.]]>Aug 1st 2007 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/01/sanyos-aircam-equipped-backup-camera-provides-virtual-views/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/01/sanyos-aircam-equipped-backup-camera-provides-virtual-views/Aug 1st 2007 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/01/sanyos-aircam-equipped-backup-camera-provides-virtual-views/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/01/sanyos-aircam-equipped-backup-camera-provides-virtual-views/Aug 1st 2007 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/01/sanyos-aircam-equipped-backup-camera-provides-virtual-views/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/01/sanyos-aircam-equipped-backup-camera-provides-virtual-views/Aug 16th 2007 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/01/sanyos-aircam-equipped-backup-camera-provides-virtual-views/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/01/sanyos-aircam-equipped-backup-camera-provides-virtual-views/Aug 17th 2007 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/01/sanyos-aircam-equipped-backup-camera-provides-virtual-views/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/01/sanyos-aircam-equipped-backup-camera-provides-virtual-views/-Taiwan its a standard feature, bought a honda crv in 05 had rear radar for parallel parking, and a fish eye camera mounted inthe rear bumper connected to the internal dvd/video system - put it into reverse, and switch the video to an aux input you get images front and center in a big old dash mounted display...
