    One thing to note is that if the vehicle being driven wasn’t an SUV, that bollard would have easily been seen through the rear view mirror. Looks like the bollard is ‘just’ low enough to stop below the top of the rear seats. SUVs bad.

      I agree that SUV bad, but today’s cars pretty universally have rear view cameras and some extra sensors. She can’t drive for shit

      I believe that all cars sold in the US since 2016 have been required to have back-up cameras.

        Those are only situationally useful. They tend to be too dim and blurry, and if you’re wearing polarized sunglasses they can be totally black. Focusing on them long enough to make out what they’re displaying causes tunnel vision - you can’t really shift your focus from looking around out the windows and back to looking at the screen fast enough.

        Back-up cameras are great for measuring the last couple inches of parking.
