The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the US has proposed a rule making reversing cameras mandatory in all light vehicles.

Under a weight-based scheme similar to Australia’s, all vehicles under 10,000 pounds (4.5 tonnes) would require a reversing camera, including trucks and small busses. Carmakers would have until May 1, 2018 to comply.

The proposed changes would require reversing cameras to offer an expanded field of view behind the vehicle (as most already do), within a three- by six-metre zone.
