Oh yeah, I like backup cameras too and they're probably saving a lot of people from injury or death. Very much worth requiring, IMO.

It's just the fact that many of these companies saw the opportunity to monetize the hardware that regulations were forcing them to install so we started seeing a lot more "data harvesting".

If you were going to pick a year to avoid, 2018 makes logical sense from that perspective.
