	I've driven a few rental cars with them - they are very very nice.
The really big win is that you can see things which are too low to see from
inside the car - like short posts and toddlers. Fortunately the latter has
never been a problem for me but many years ago I had a neighbour who was
something of a basket case - turned out some years earlier he'd reversed
over his two year old son because he didn't know the child was out and
couldn't see him. A reversing camera would have made a huge difference to
his life - and given his son one.
