I truly don’t understand how in 2023 with all the digitalization we have cars with backup cameras from at best a 2015 mid range smartphone. What’s preventing a manufacturer like bmw for an example from putting a high end sony sensor like the one on the iPhone 15 into their camera modules?

    Our 2016 BMW 5 has very good resolution. It’s like HDTV. The 2012 Audi A7 I had was even clearer. It was like 4K resolution if you wiped the lens.

      My 2022 BMW has a good backup camera, to the point other people have pointed it out when in my car, but it still isn’t anywhere near what your average smartphone camera looks like.

      It’s not the screen either, that’s crisp and bright enough for it.
