People are using touch screen radio/GPS while driving, along with cell phones/TPMS/chip/monitor screens and now adding another device to look at simply makes your driving more distracted IMHO
I have my Ford OEM trailer set up so it can be used as an observation Camera. It works like having a rear view mirror. It is no more a distraction than checking a rearview mirror. It also uses existing real estate so teh dash is less cluttered.

Truck has an optional view called trailer that displays the 2 mirror cameras. I only see that view when I hit on accident. Truck mirrors are so much better.

Agreed I think the side cameras would be helpful on the blind side when backing and turning
