What would this be for? Are you speaking in terms of the same thing as a back-up camera, but in the front?

You can get this as an optional OEM feature on the HS250h. Iirc its meant for pedestrian monitoring at low speeds like intersections and parking lots

It really comes in handy pulling out of somewhere where this is something blocking your view. Hopefully the next IS gets this feature, its wonderful in the HS.
