In the end, I feel that I gained far more by learning how to control my car than to hope for the best and rely on electronics to do what I should know how to do on my own. Backing up is the most simple of things, so if we can't even do that w/o multiple cameras, it's only going to go downhill from there. This reminds me of the story posted here where a new X5 owner is trying to sue the dealership because he used the camera system only to backup and still hit something. When did common sense go out the door? To each their own.
