From IHS:
An estimated 292 people are killed and 18,000 injured each year by drivers who back into them, usually in driveways or parking lots. Young children and elderly people are most likely to be killed in such crashes. Backover risk is increased by the large blind zones of many vehicles, which prevent drivers from seeing objects behind the rear bumper, especially objects that are low to the ground.

Yeah. I added it.

The car isn't how I'd want it anyway — no nav, manual seats, manual climate control, etc. — so, what's there to lose?

Sad fact is that a lot of the young kids killed/injured in driveways playing behind backing out vehicles were by their own family members or their grand parents.
