There’s not a single scenario for a back window, truck with faulty brakes behind u flashes lights, beeps horn and instead of cab moving out of the way, it just sits there. Someone backing up about to hit cyber cab but u can’t see behind u…..every car on the planet has a back window, how is NHTSA ok with this ?

I don’t get your concern. Were you planning on riding in these while staying alert and keeping your head on a swivel as if you could influence the car in some way if needed? Because you can’t. Also plenty of vehicles don’t have a back window (every box truck ever).

Box truck ? F150, 1500, Silverado, tundra, all have windows. Those are all too sellers

Box truck like a Penske or U-Haul. Some semis have windows, others don’t, but they pulling a trailer that blocks any view out the back most of the time.

I think Chevy has invisible view-feature that’s see behind blocked view. A few others have review cameras build directly into rear view mirror.

Maybe CC will let you easily view the external cameras like CT does. We shall see.

They’ve said we will be able to buy them. I wouldn’t think you’d need a license. Don’t know what we’ll all do about insurance yet.
