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.
