But when I drove it I felt super vulnerable for some reason and preferred to physically look where I was going. But it probably also had a lot to do with me not wanting to mess his super baller car up. Im sure if I had it on a car, Id grow to enjoy it

There are still times I physically look. Like at night in dark lots. Even with LED reverse lights, it’s poorly lit back there.

But for the most part, I use my camera.

It definitely depends on the driver.
