Among some of the best enhancements to appear on modern automobiles are the myriad cameras placed around them. Even on cars with great visibility, cameras offer so many benefits. They help us see stuff while we're backing up, find curbs while parking, check blind spots and hook up and maneuver trailers. We even gave Kia a Tech of the Year award in part because of the company's enormously useful blind-spot cameras, which also appear on our long-term Hyundai Palisade.
The reasons are actually pretty straightforward. First off, there's clarity. As good as cameras have become, they're still not as sharp as actual images reflected into your eye. It's the highest definition you can see, quite literally. And it doesn't run into issues with graininess or bad exposures with poor lighting. And when you're trying to merge into another lane with lots of traffic, you want as clear a picture as you can get.
Furthermore, mirrors offer something cameras can't, or at least not with the displays that are currently used: depth perception. This is something I've become aware of when using some of the rear-view camera displays in rear-view mirrors. Because the mirror is reflecting exactly what's outside, it's effectively like looking out a window with your own eyes, which gives you a three-dimensional view, and you can judge distance.
I used to hate on mirrors but now I agree
