I think backup cameras have surpassed the mirrors in a lot of cases. I'm just surprised it hasn't progressed faster and further. Why every car doesn't have the option of an around-view top-down backup system is puzzling.


I find the kids (n=3) make more steering mistakes and see less when looking forward at the screen compared to turning around.

I think the physical action of tuning is a somatic trigger that the steering is different and to swivel the head around for hazards.


In driver's ed we were taught to put our right hand behind the passenger seat whenever looking back to go in reverse. As if to reinforce the modal/perspective change.


Exactly but the kids want to just stare at the screen
