The bigger the screen for me, the safer it is to gaze over at directions. I wouldn’t drive without directions telling me which way is fastest. No way can a human predict traffic better than computers.

The cameras might not be “required” to drive, but they do increase precision, which in turn is safer overall.

Also, the last thing I wanna do is know my area super well, then it takes the excitement out of driving around; the engagement is helpful to keep me from being distracted.

If cars were designed so you actually had visibility, you wouldn't Need 500 cameras just to reverse.

This is why 2000s was peak. You had most creature comforts, and tech wasn't shoved in our faces, and you could actually see out of your car.

Also, you're driving a boring ass car if you get easily distracted driving. This is what crossovers to do people, lol.

Cameras allow you to see 360° all at the same time, though.

Sure, but not in snow or rain, and they break.

I prefer just turning my head!
