Image-quality improvements and falling prices for backup cameras "ride the wave of smartphone-image advancement," Lu says. Coupled with ultrasonic or radar sensors, and sometimes through a smartcamera alone, the best systems sense objects and pedestrians behind the vehicle and warn the driver of their presence when the vehicle is in reverse.

Some systems allow drivers to view the feed at any time, which is useful if you want to keep watch on a trailer, for instance. Image sensors transmit video in high dynamic range, which both reduces glare from bright sunshine and improves image quality in low light. Dynamic lines superimposed on the camera's image move with the steering wheel to guide the driver while backing up. Resolution doesn't necessarily get better, but the rearview systems become like Swiss Army knives in terms of their wide utility. But with luxury cars and pickup trucks, advanced backup-camera features have become must-haves for buyers. "Some OEMs provide low-end cameras on some base-level or even mid-level vehicles to just fulfill the mandate," Lu says. For brands that post their biggest numbers abroad, it makes more sense to throw an affordable camera in their U.S.-market cars than dangle an expensive setup as a selling point on low-margin cars. The European Union doesn't have such a requirement, but there's a provisional agreement to make "reversing safety with camera or sensors" mandatory for 2022. Of course, NHTSA's backup-camera edict applies only to the U.S.

High-definition 1080p hardware (equivalent to two megapixels) is a hallmark of high-plus-level cameras, which will come down the pipeline in greater numbers in the next few years. High-level cameras are common in luxury cars and can provide more-complex views such as the 360-degree bird's-eye view that allows the driver to get an overhead look at the car's position. The lowest of the low-end cameras aren't even one megapixel-for reference, the iPhone XS and XR have 12-megapixel cameras-and generate analog video, a format so old, the FCC has required that all broadcast television stations stop using it and switch to digital. Lu divides backup cameras into four levels: low, mid, high, and high plus.
