Maybe this makes me sound like a jerk, but my thinking in that regard was “I don’t have children and rarely drive near other people’s loose children. Why should I pay for hardware I don’t need?”
First, yes it does. Second, you’re not paying extra for it at least in the US as it’s federally mandated equipment, you can’t legally get a new car without a reverse camera.
Knowing that something rolled up just behind your car can be a saver in many ways… not running over surprise debris, for one, not hitting the neighbor’s anti-cut boulder on the edge of the grass that you can’t see when looking behind you for another…
The reverse camera is useful so you’re not backing over some little kid. Anything else it does is a bonus.
