One thing worth noting though: The NHSTA just approved GM to use digital camera-based rear view mirrors in their cars if they so desire. These have a little toggle near the bottom that can switch between a conventional reflective mirror and the camera. I saw this on some videos of the press driving the new Bolt if you want to check it out.

I almost guarantee that is going to end up in a future model year of Camaro. It would solve all the visibility issues at once with a very wide field of view that covers all the blind spots.

Rear window visibilty is a want, not a need (and specifically not legally required), and as such it will vary person to person. That shouldn't be a surprise.
