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?

    The existing cameras are good enough. You don’t need 4K/60fps to reverse your car.

    Also typically when resolution goes up on small cameras like that. Low light performance goes down. It’s why we saw a ton of phones in like 2015 everyone tried out high resolution cameras in phones. Dropped them after a year. And now they are finally coming back as image processing improves.
