Default Anyone think LS 600h needs an Around View camera

If Infinity (credited as the first manufacturer to put a backup camera in a car) can add an all around view to their new EX (basically 4 cameras), anyone think Lexus needs to match this in the next LS?

Well the LX 570 has the blind spot cameras for multiple angles...and probably needs it, such a huge tall SUV.

I have front and back cameras in my Lambo. The front camera I do use all the time, just when parking, since you can't see squat up front and don't want to hit a curb. The rear camera stays on all the time when driving. It's my real rear view mirror.

Despite the huge blind spots, I can't imagine side cameras. I can see an automated blind spot detection system, though.

yup, same here. since i mod my cars, they are lowered and it's always a challenge getting into a parking spot / curb, so front will help. blind spot detection system would be brilliant (wish they had it on the LS as well)
