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?
Additionally, cars are not updated yearly like phones are. An automaker might update the camera systems every 3-4 years (at the earliest), and the actual part is chosen/designed 1-2 years before the car is released to the public.
