My understanding is that backup cameras are a legal requirement in multiple jurisdictions. Hard to do with no screen?

They could always satisfy that with an iPad or tablet? Also, I think it matters where your rear pillars are on if you need a backup camera or not, older cars have much bigger back windows but are more likely to kill you in a roll over.

> Surprisingly, there’s no center screen at all. But the more you think about it, the more it might make sense.

This is not a surprise at all.

There's a reason I drive a 20+ year old car. Lots and lots of drivers have said it: They want buttons!


Lack of screen is a benefit, not a handicap, I'm my opinion!
