A new AAA study finds that rear view cameras on vehicles can save lives. State Triple A spokesman Nick Jarmuscz says the systems are intended to improve driver awareness of the area immediately behind the vehicle in order to reduce the instance of back over fatalities. AAA tests found that overall rear-view camera systems improved rear visibility an average of 46 percent…depending on the type of vehicle you have. Jarmuscz says the rear view camera system was more effective in improving rear view visibility in larger vehicles, like mini vans or hatchbacks. Although these systems dramatically improve rear view visibility they do not show 100 percent of the space behind the vehicle.
