YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

When I first used a backup camera in 2015, I immediately felt it should be required due to how easy it is to see if there is a kid or dog behind your car while backing up. I'm glad they actually did make it required! Though my issue with it now is how there doesn't seem to be a standard resolution, field of view, etc. So some cars have a terrible backup camera, but there's always turning your head around and looking back there!
Next they should make front cameras for personal trucks required!
My car stops if it senses it's going to hit something in reverse (forward too of course but that's not relevant for this thread)
My father in law has that too, but there seems to be a lot of false positives. (He has a 2018 Kia Niro)

In the forward direction I do sometimes get a false positive, but only enough to sound the (not very intrusive) alarm. The only time it's actually stopped is when I was pulling out of a parking lot and the brakes applied. I never saw what it was in front of the car but another car honked, and a few people gasped so there was something. (2021 Toyota Sienta. Standard, boring family car)
Also I've actually been spared being hit as a pedestrian by auto stop on a Honda Freed.
My car's reverse stop has saved me from a couple of dents.

Sorry for the duplicates, seems to be a bug with Memmy
My truck has the 360 degree cameras, and I can’t live without the front camera now.
