I once heard “to keep your tailgate from being stolen” but that seems like it’d be a rare case.

    When I have to park in a particularly narrow spot, I find backing in easier due to the better vantage point of the camera.

      It’s not just the camera, it’s the geometry. A car can fit into a narrower space from a narrower lane backing in.

        Yeah, has to do with where the turning wheels are positioned. It’s like with forklifts having the wheels turn in the back instead of the front.
