fyi, the 2012 Camaro on certain trim levels will have a backup camera in the rear view mirror as well.
Having the camera in the rearview mirror makes a lot of sense actually. However, even with this, the 8" screen with visual 3D distance gauges was pretty darn impressive.
My wife was concerned about an SUV being hard to park. I joked and told her, if you hit something while going in reverse in the Edge, then you shouldn't be driving. You have side mirrors, a rearview mirror, audible distance sensors, and a camera with a visual distance gauge. It sounds like overkill, and it probably is, but man, talk about idiot proofing!
It would be funny if they expanded park assist beyond just parallel parking and added a feature to help you park in normal spots too... Then add computer operated door assist technology that stopped people from opening their doors into other parked cars.... Life would be good.
