[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have none of the backup haters here had the experience of having a car back out of a parking space when you're walking right there as a pedestrian, and having no idea whether they see you there or not?  When a car is pulling forward out of a parking space where there are pedestrians, you can make eye contact.  You generally know if they see you, and if you don't.  That's been my experience, anyway.  As a pedestrian, I feel much less secure when I'm in some grocery store parking lot trying to walk near a car that might be backing up, as opposed to one that's front-forward.  I can see if anyone is in the car, and I can see if they see me, if they're pulling out of a space front forward as opposed to backing up.  This isn't rocket science, guys.  [/quote]

No, because I wait for the pedestrian to pass. In 28 years of driving, I've never once come close to hitting a pedestrian backing up, or had any anxiety about doing so. Because I'm a competent driver, both before and after having a rear camera. It's not hard.

Walking through parking lots, I feel WAY less safe with people backing in, and me walking behind them. [/quote]
