    Just an interesting thought: have you noticed that the video from the backup camera has been deliberately reversed, so that it looks the same as the rear-view mirror? It makes sense, since all drivers are accustomed to mirrors. Picture what it would look like if Toyota had used a straight feed: You are backing up and turn slightly; the image on the mirror shifts to the right, the image on the MFD goes the other way! It makes me a little queasy just to think about it.

    Switching it back would be a fun trick to play! NOT.

    How about a recording of a large truck coming up fast, or maybe a monster from an old Japanese horror film. :lol:
