Strip away the heart rending, tear jerking liberal bias in this proposal and let's see what this will cost us ..... then ask if we REALLY need to spend this kind of money.... forced on us by the bureaucrat Washington regulators....
Let's see here: 292 people per year are killed by "backover" accidents. Having backup cameras installed might save half of them : 146 people.
To achieve this, the bureaucrats are proposing that automobiles have backup cameras installed at an estimated $2,700,000,000 per year (that's $2.7 BILLION).
That's about $20,000,000 ($20 MILLION) per person saved.
Who pays that bill? The Govm't? That is you and I from our taxes. The auto purchaser? That is also you and I.
Why don't we simply teach our family to be careful when walking behind running cars and trucks?
