The whole truck bed and the height of the vehicle would obstruct basically a tons of stuff, making it a massive blindspot. Lots of accident/collision happened because driver reversed into someone/something.

Mandated rear view cameras came from recommendations from a series of particularly tragic coroner’s inquests.
