Its my wife SUV and she normally start reversing and dont wait for the camera to come live. she was at Home Depot few yrs back and hit the yellow concrete cone they have at loading dock. I ask her how can you miss that marker and she told me she never saw it in the camera, and I told her you never saw it because you never wait for the camera to go live. But I agree so much for German Engineering too much Hype I think.
