If you are looking for a new car or truck, you might have noticed that many advertise that they now have a rearview, or backup, camera. In May of 2018, a Federal law made them mandatory in all passenger vehicles under 10,000 pounds. You might be wondering what a backup camera can do for you.
One of the reasons why rearview cameras were invented is that your rearview mirror only gives you a limited view.
