ITs a little weird, and kind of throws your depth perception off just a little until you adjust.
If you ever see those car reviews or cars with the mirrors that can switch between standard and digital you'll see the focal point is changed.
From the inside you obviously can see where the rear headrests are, trunk (if visible), end of the car, etc. You can see that you are inside of a car and looking out.
With a camera (im assuming it would be mounted high) you would pretty much see just outside. but you don't know where your depth point begins since you're likely not seeing any part of the car at all.
Obviously everything just takes a little adjusting to get used to.
I don't like this whole tech laden stuff, i prefer old school window, even if some cars have windows that are literal slits that you barely see anything anyways.
I suppose that stems from growing up with machinery and gadgets that complement your abilities rather than take over from you.
Oh and if the camera is mounted outside (depending on where) it will encounter the elements which could block your view making it useless until you wipe the camera lens.
