<\/p>\nThis terminology refers to a group of technologies that relate to the use of cameras, sensors and other devices such as assistance for driving, parking or other driving needs. Rear backup cameras, cornering speed warning, drowsiness alert, bicycle detection, and others may be included. Throughout this section, technology related to cameras will be addressed, since these have a more widespread use.<\/p>\n
Reversing cameras would likely be useful for drivers of passenger or commuter vans who often exit in reverse out of a driveway, or for urban drivers who frequently parallel park. They would be especially useful for older drivers, who often lack the flexibility to turn and check the blind spot.<\/p>\n
There are several different versions of backup camera systems. Some systems simply provide a rear-view of the vehicle, while others combine this view with a sensor that warns if an object is detected too close to the rear of the vehicle with an audible alarm. Some systems will even apply the brakes automatically to avoid a potential collision.<\/p>\n
Since May 2018, all new vehicles sold in Canada weighing 4536 kg (10 000 pounds) or less must be fitted with a backup camera (Transport Canada).<\/p>\n
