About a year ago I bought a new vehicle having the backup and overhead view cameras, warning beeper and so on. These features came with the package I wanted. At that time I thought the cameras and beepers were superfluous. But, I soon came to appreciate how helpful they are. I own an older vehicle in great shape but now when I drive it I miss the cameras, bells and whistles the new vehicle has which I have come to rely upon. Personally, I feel these features add to safety, especially from fender benders in parking lots.
In the instant case I do not feel cameras would have helped. Her foot must have jammed down on the throttle for whatever reason. Glad no one was hurt!
