Still susceptible to obfuscation (popped up on my word of the day this past wk) by road grime, but probably no worse than looking through a splattered rear window with a conventional mirror. PU's and sedans naturally keep the most spray from hitting the window.  Some worker bee at NHTSA will probably draft a regulation making rain sensing rear window wipers mandatory, or outlawing SUVs & hatchbacks.

No, no current Ford products have it.   The idea is it eliminates blind spots altogether - no pillars, people, cargo, etc. in the way, but they can be turned off and use a regular mirror, if desired.   I could see it being useful on something like Bronco, where the tire out back can limit visibility.   I view it as a "keeping up with the Joneses" type option - competitors have it, so it should be offered, but Ford doesn't seem to care about that type of thing lately (i.e. removing features to save a buck....while charging more).     Usually they're a separate camera - sometimes they're mounted up in the rear spoiler of SUVs, sometimes they're right next to the backup camera.

Good question, I do wonder about how it would fit into the NA lineup-its longer/wilder then the BOF Bronco in North America.   It would butt into the Explorer sales space, which I'm not sure if Ford would want to do that.    Ford still has a gaping opening below the Bronco and Bronco Sport that would be better off filled maybe by something more car like that would be a legitimate Edge replacement.    IMO it would be better just to make the Bronco and Sport a P/HEV short term then move to an EREV setup by the end of the decade.     

Say what?

IIRC on the Corolla Cross I saw today, it looked like the camera was set up much higher then other backup cameras I've seen-like in the spoiler above the rear hatch glass. 

Do we like it that much?  (Genuinely asking)

The New Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid Isn't All That New     There’s a perfectly logical explanation why the "new" Rogue Plug-In Hybrid doesn’t look like any other version of the compact crossover. It’s not really a Nissan. Instead, it’s a straightforward case of badge engineering. The model is essentially a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV with different logos and a revised front grille, designed to align it with newer products, such as the Sentra and Leaf. It’s highly unusual for a model to gain a plug-in hybrid powertrain so late in its life cycle. The third-generation Rogue has been around for five years, yet only now is Nissan pairing a combustion engine with an electric motor. Although the press release never mentions “Mitsubishi,” the spec sheet makes the connection obvious once you spot the engine’s codename: “MMC [Mitsubishi Motors Corporation] 4B12.”             Not really sure why they're rebadging an Outlander / why they're doing this...

Next-Gen Toyotas Will Now Last for Almost a Decade - Autoblog   According to a report from Nikkei Asia, Toyota plans to extend the average life cycle of its flagship models to about nine years. It’s an unusually long span for a mainstream brand, but Toyota believes this direction makes sense as demand remains strong and certain models face years-long waiting times. The idea is to create a more stable sales environment and make it easier for buyers to get popular models without having the next-generation version appear just as their order is fulfilled.

The other advantage is that it can be made available only in a certain trim package or option group, bundled in with other options. Maybe even subscription-based; free for 1year, then reverts back to a conventional mirror, or displays only in black & white if you don't subscribe. Where is the camera(s) for it? if it utilizes the same one as the backup camera, it will lose clear visibility in the rain.
