The more electronic features new vehicles have, the more electronic nightmares (failures) they will have sooner or later...usually after the warranty has expired.

Yes, I have both a backup camera and the auto-park feature. Wouldn't be w/o the backup camera.

My 2011 F150 Stupor Crew had the camera. Around here it was handy, because people walk in the street, not on the sidewalk.

Backing the elephantine behemoth out of the garage down the sloping driveway, there's a tree and several Birds of Paradise blocking the view to the west.

'Course, I won't be backing out of this garage much longer...

No, but the camera will still be invaluable as you don't want to run over your sister.

She's tall enough (5-10) that I can see her, but I won't have to look, because I won't be backing out of the driveway.

Truck is gonna be parked in the street along with my mom's former 2003 Camry. Their Chebbie Trail Blazer and 1973 GMC van are parked in the driveway.

Their 3 car garage has a boat and the usual crap that people accumulate over the years. During the 44 years they've lived there, there has never been a vehicle parked in their garage, NEVER!
