> backup cameras are mandated by law in the USA

I used to think that was a good idea. But now I have a car with both backup camera and sensors, and I find myself relying much more on the sensors than the camera. It helps that the implementation is intuitive -- slow beeps at 1 meter, then increasing frequency, then continuous beep, then automatic brake.

I love the backup camera, especially since I moved to a city with tiny parking space, which always trigers the beeping sounds left and right (literally). It's so annoying I wish I could disable them.

Most cars there is a button or option to disable. I have this option on my fords. It’s there for example if you add a towing hitch there has to be a disable option somewhere in the menu stack.
