I've done just fine for 50 years with no cam.

The cam in my sister's Acura sounds the alert when there's nothing behind the car. Even she complains about it. It's done it when I've driven it, done when she's driven it.
But even worse than the camera is the electric parking brake. Talk about an answer to a question nobody asked.
Guess your friends are lucky with TPM. I don't want to be one of the unlucky ones. I take car of my cars and shouldn't be penalized because other people don't.
Check out used cars on your local CL, you'll find many with the "tire light won't go out" disclaimer. All brands.
None of these technological marvels are making driving any safer. Traffic fatalities have been steadily increasing since 2010, which is the last year you could get a car without stability control.
Pedestrian and cyclist fatalities are way up, largely because of SUVs and trucks. Fatalities spiked last year despite many fewer miles driven. So either they don't work as advertised, or they're making already lazy drivers even lazier, or they're being undone by the SUV.
It's no secret, I think it's all bullshit. TPM is bullshit, stability control is bullshit, backup cameras are for the weak, the SUV is the biggest bullshit of all. Nothing more than a marketing gimmick to fool the gullible into spending more money for an inferior version of something that costs less.





The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
