A bit. But note that "you could too" is not a "you should too".

I can back up without a camera, and I can "drive stick" as Americans call it. But a teenager learning to drive today should maybe not bother.

But that's not the same question as "why aren't you installing a backup camera?". Because it wouldn't change my ability or speed of backing up. And I can drive stick. Why not replace my car with an automatic? Because it wouldn't improve anything.

In fact I dislike automatics, since they'll suddenly and jerkily decide that another gear is best, ever though my foot didn't move, and inclination didn't change. But in a couple of decades it'll all be electric and this problem will go away. The deliberate engine braking is in electric cars just the brake pedal.
