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?

    I’d like to know why I can buy a $20 baby monitor with night vision but my backup camera doesn’t have it.

      “night vision” requires strong near-IR lights and results in a bulky device. backup cameras are tiny, it’s much easier to just increase ISO at night and use reverse lighting as the light source
