In Reply to: I regularly use the back up camera in the Ridgeline posted by E-Stat on August 6, 2021 at 14:32:34:
And, as I've said here before, I park in a lot every day that is filled with MASSIVE pickups driven by hockey players, the vehicle of choice of the NHL and AHL (except for the occasional Ferarri or Lambo) and the wannabes at the rink. I can't see what's coming if I end up sandwiched between a lifted extra long RAMSilveradoF250 or whatever (no Ridglines, sorry) but my car's camera can, and tells me when something is coming THAT I CAN'T SEE no matter how far I crane my neck. Or, when some little 6 year old figure skater darts out from the curb behind me, or when the little figure skaters mom with her obnoxious, untrained dog takes off behind me. All of which happened this week.
I love the extra SAFETY features of my car, because they make me a SAFER driver. I actually used my SOS button this morning to report a fire on the way to the rink. Looks to have just started, but already 8 ft. tall flames near the RR tracks (homeless encampment) a 100 feet from an apartment complex across an open field, not much longer and it would have been a disaster. On the way back 10 minutes later, the firefighters already had their lines hooked up and were putting it out.
