    Pretty much yeah since rearview cameras are a legal requirement now

    Most vehicles will have these kind of screens

      I’d be curious about what kinds of modifications people have been able to do with these. I imagine most people would want to avoid bricking their $50k car by pulling apart their dashboard and fucking with the internals, but someone somewhere has had to have been unhappy enough with the hardware/software on these things to make an attempt at switching it out, even if in part.

      Owning something that expensive and not being able to modify it to the way I like (and cutting out the manufacturer from data harvesting/control over the system) is a personal kind of hell.

      Ugh I hate rearview cameras. They’re nice for people who can’t turn due to limited mobility but I prefer to be facing the direction I’m going and do the “turn and put hand on the other head rest” move. It would be fine, but some car manufacturers have decided rear sightlines don’t matter at all now “because you have the camera” so they take that option from me and make reversing more dangerous.
