Camera or not - you should never stop being careful, paying attention, or driving properly.

That being said, the back line HAS gotten taller which HAS made it harder to see out of the backs of cars.

I've got a rear view camera in my 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid and I spent probably exactly 32 seconds trying to use it by itself only to realize that the markers and the audio feedback give you a false sensation (cuz it's WAYYY closer than you think or the camera would have you believe), but I DO use it periodically as a check/guide/aid; which is how you SHOULD be using it if you've got it. As a tool/aid, NOT as a replacement.
