On: Cameras Could Replace Car Mirrors?

[xellisx]

There is one thing missing. I have a child mirror on my back seat that I can see from my rear-view mirror. Kind of hard see that when the camera is pretty much looking at the outside.

Some vehicles have a camera pointed at the back seat for this reason.

Sounds like something out of price range, unless I DIY it.

When you are driving, you should be looking outside.

Awareness of what's going on inside your vehicle is also of some importance.

When you have a kid, they try to choke on their own fingers/toys/food, throw their drink/toys, or just generally be annoying.

While that is correct, removing the ability to easily look at what is going on in rear seat will make some people uneasy.

As a parent, it is in my experience much safer to be able to flip the rear view mirror into "night mode" and have a view of what the kids are arguing about than to have to turn back even momentarily to interact with them.
