Reply to comment by Now_Wait-4-Last_Year in Ford now recalling 462,000 SUVs due to rear camera issue linked to at least 17 accidents by EdBegleyJuniorJunior

ASAIK, only the front driver/passenger mirrors, windows, and front windshield are required on vehicles. Everything behind the driver can be entirely solid.

Yup. And in some places, it's an either/or situation. If you don't have a passenger sideview mirror, you need a rearview on the glass. One or the other is required at minimum.

You can backup without a rearview, but it does require a manual inspection of what's behind you before starting. As long as someone doesn't dart behind before you start, it should be safe.
