A motorized vehicle, typically smaller than a car, equipped with a rear-facing camera system designed to enhance visibility during reverse maneuvers. These systems are frequently employed on vehicles used in recreational settings, providing a visual aid to the operator when backing up. An example would be a small electric vehicle used on a golf course, modified to include a monitor displaying the view behind the vehicle when the driver shifts into reverse.
The inclusion of such a system provides enhanced safety and reduced risk of accidents. This is especially relevant in environments with pedestrian traffic or limited visibility. The historical integration of these systems reflects a broader trend toward incorporating safety technology into a wider range of vehicular applications, initially appearing in larger automobiles before becoming available for smaller, specialized vehicles.
