More government intervention, mandatory back up cams?

[CBBaron]

The backup cameras on my wifes car are worthless 90% of the time in the winter any ways. Any time there is wet roads, road spray covers the lens and makes the picture worthless. 

I only use it to better judge distance when backing into a spot with a object directly behind. Otherwise the mirrors provide better information.

Sure its only a few dollars, but its money I would rather not spend. Requirements like these have greatly increased the cost of entry level cars over the last 40 years and that is where it really hits the pocket book. Especially because it also adds more items that can go wrong, and may need repaired.
