Sun-Sentinel Reports Backup Sensor Debate

May 1, 2006 By: Barbara G. Goode, Sensors Sensors

Legislation in Congress to make backup sensors mandatory has bipartisan support, but the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers opposes it, saying the sensors are reliable only in detecting inanimate objects and cameras are prohibitively expensive.
