Yes. A parking camera / screen is a straight up improvement compared to relying on windows and skill.

People who complain about screens are usually not complaining about that but rather about common functionality that used to be a single physical button now is buried deep inside a buggy menu system.

Car screens and I don't get on. At all. For backing up, what works for me is a full check first and directly viewing while backing up, augmenting with mirrors.

Eyes-on is me being as safe as I can possibly be.


Yeah no that's how parents used to run over their own kids


For me, backing up precisely and not running over things are two different skills. I'll check the screen for obstacles, but find it much easier to use windows/mirrors for actually getting into the spot.

The Full-Check part is what prevents that.

I also back-in to park. Pulling out compounds the safety.


Now they're running over other people's kids due to being distracted by the screen.
