Yep, my 2009 Volvo has a popup screen that can be pushed down into the dash. I like it because I almost never use the reversing camera, but on the rare occasion I want to it's available. The rest of the car is all physical controls.

are you not worried about running over small children?

Serious question. Was there some epidemic of running over children that I missed in the 18 years of operating vehicles before I got one with a backup camera?
It’s not a serious question to ask if there was an ‘epidemic’. That is clearly a straw man.
Backup cameras were mandated as a result of cases of children being run over, because mirrors are inadequate to detect their presence.
