i knew there were manufacturers developing stuff like that and i figured it would be out on stuff already, but a dirt assed cheap system still needs to be developed so it could be equipped on anything across the board. it shouldn't be hard to develop something that could be manufactured for like $50 a shot, considering all the lenses and screens in dirt cheap digital cameras, web cams, etc.

writing software to detect cars in blind spots, etc, is overkill.
