Maybe if we didn't put computers and cameras in our cars they wouldn't be so expensive
The worst part about it it that these screens are most of the time worse than a 100 dollar ipad, and unresponsive and janky as hell. The cameras are so cheap that they are also used as fpv cameras. Some of the very cheap ones sometimes still had the green and red lined that you see on parking cameras. But since it's in a car, it makes it 10k more expensive. The worst fucking car entertainment system i have ever used was when a friend of my dad bought a Maserati and asked me how it works. I couldn't figure it out, for the first time ever, i had to look at the manual. And even then, i have no idea who was responsible for that shitty ass ui, it was absolutely disgusting and made by the only guy who knows how it works.
Maybe if we didn't put those devices where high end ones that do thousands of times more than these cost $3000-$5000 into our devices that start around $25000 the latter wouldn't be so expensive? This is entirely a choice by the manufacturer, not something forced onto you by the computing device.
backup cameras were made mandatory in 2018 in the US.
