REAR-VISION TECHNOLOGY EVALUATED IN NEW YORK TIMES
A New York Times reporter has tried out systems designed to reduce incidents of cars backing over children and published his evaluations. Writing as “a parent and an owner of a sport utility vehicle” who is moved by “horrifying stories about cars backing over children or pedestrians,” he gives the pros and cons of various systems and concludes that in spite of “imperfections” in some systems, they made him “more comfortable when backing up in tight spots -- and at home where my daughter plays.” The three types of system he describes are Ultrasonic, Video and Factory-Installed Options.
