Mirrors have been an integral part of motor vehicles for over a century. The low tech solution has solved the major visibility issues involved with driving and now car makers think they can do one better using cameras instead of mirrors. This may be an improvement in large trucks where visibility using mirrors can be poor to the point that obstacles directly in front and behind the vehicle cannot be seen but for cars it may prove to be a theft opportunity.
Best not to mount a mirror, or indeed a camera, directly in the line of fire of a neighboring car door in the parking lot. Maybe someone should tell them about the practicalities of life?

What would you go rather for?
(1) Physical car mirrors + systemd-free Linux
(2) Car cameras + systemd-free Linux
(3) Physical car mirrors + systemd based Linux
(4) Car cameras + systemd basedLinux
(5) Wild mixture of back/side view options (physical, camera, neck-craining) + seperate start-up system for every service
