8. Back-up Cameras

A back-up camera does exactly what the name implies: it is a camera mounted on the rear bumper that helps the driver back up. Vehicles with this feature usually have a small screen mounted on their dashboard that activates once the car is placed in reverse. Many displays have distance readings so you know how close you are, and some have trajectory lines that help when parallel parking or backing into a spot on an angle. This feature helps prevent damage to your vehicle and others when backing up, but also helps prevent running something over you wouldn’t normally be able to see. Drivers with children won’t have to worry about toys and bikes left behind the car with this feature.
