I truly don’t understand how in 2023 with all the digitalization we have cars with backup cameras from at best a 2015 mid range smartphone. What’s preventing a manufacturer like bmw for an example from putting a high end sony sensor like the one on the iPhone 15 into their camera modules?

    Okay here are the reasons.

    1. The camera is a of a different grade. Heat, cold, insane vibrations (ois cameras go bad pretty fast with vibrations, ask bikers, they know the pain), and more.
    2. You really don’t need a that high quality.
    3. Phone cameras are connected with high speed connections to the ram where they store the data, they need short connections for this to be reliable I believe. Same reason why laptop cameras are shitty compared to phones.
    4. The cost I guess. On a 50k car, sure 500-k$ isn’t much, but when times comes and they’re damaged, it’s still a hefty price to pay.
