Real world edge situations with millions of cars driving billions of miles they WILL need to back into potential cross traffic 1000's of times a day. There is 100% NO way around it. Can you look at your driving history and say you never have needed to back up into potential cross traffic?The car backs in when it autoparks. It won't, ever, need rear cross-traffic, because it won't, ever, be backing out of a spot it parked itself in. It'll be pulling out forward (Where it already has multiple cameras and forward radar)
Also pulling out if there is van (or other obstacle) on the side the B-pillar camera can't lean forward to see around/under/over it the way you do. It MUST pull out the front end far enough for the camera to see and this could expose it to traffic.
I still think it may need radar on the 4 corners.
Again, I hope I'm wrong and just playing devil's advocate. I did pay for FSD.
