    wtf @ this lawsuit?

    http://www.wfaa.com/perl/common/vide...kupsuit_am.wmv

    Are those people dumb or is it just me? This lawsuit sounds like total BS.

    Cliffs Notse: A guy backed his SUV over his daughter and now they're suing because "it didn't come with a camera to let you see what's behind you when you're reversing."

    It is easier to blame otheres for failues than to accept responsibilities ourselves.

    I hope the car company change the suv design. there have been many cases in which children were ran over by their parents backing up the suv. you simply can't see kid behind you in a suv if the kid is less than two - three (?) feet tall.

    yes, the parent is to blame, but if this lawsuit force some modification in the design, then it is not really that stupid.

    I just feel that technology cannot replace human common sense. Why can't people take 3 seconds to look behing (under their vehicles before entering and backing up)? Before SUVs there were conversion vans, you couldn't see behind those either. No one ever complained then. Too much technology makes us stupid and lazy.

    The parents should be charged and prosecuted for neglegence. The DA should also consider Malicious prosecution charges.

    Yeah, but it is the same for a lot of cars now too... depending on how tall the kid is, but aren't most car trunks or the level of sight through the rear window like 3.5 feet now. When we do sight distance calculations in transportation, I believe we use ~3.5 ft. for the eye height of the driver.
