Any reason we can't get the cameras instead of mirrors on all cars now though? Its such a good idea I can't understand why it isn't allready used.
Cost. A mirror probably costs all of $50 a piece to produce and install, if even that high. A good camera that's compact and will get you a good picture while surviving in the elements (wind, rain, ice, heat, etc), plus all the wiring, interior flat-panel screens, and programming required to run the system would probably jack that price up to $200 or more...On a Cadillac, that's acceptable.

Still, I think it's really cool, too!
