    I don’t like any screens in my car

    I thought I didn’t either until I got a car with a built-in backup cam. Extremely helpful, and I feel vulnerable in a car without it.

      In the US, they’re mandatory in all new vehicles.

      I’d wager this is part of the reason for the ubiquitousness of touchscreens.

      That’s partly because modern cars have really bad sightlines. The old ones (without airbags) had thinner pillars between the windows and way more glass, which meant that you could see around the car much better.

      Edit: but yeah, you’re right that a backup cam is really useful now.
