    Asking your opinion. I am driving a 2020 Hyundai that has that feature where it "photographs the car " from an imaginary perch above your car. I am talking about the dash display.There was a miscreant hovering off my right rear when I was in the Driv Thru when there was no reason for him to be there. But the dash display screen showed no one around the car, giving you a false sense of security. This all goes back to my fear of drive-thrus because, for a few minutes while you are in the line, you are trapped, with someone ahead of you,and someone behind you. You can't put the pedal to the metal and escape. That's how the granddaughter of an LA police chief was murdered. The guy she was out with went to a drive thru. Someone was gunning for him and found him in the drive thru. He couldn't escape. The killer shot at him but the bullets hit the girl instead. So i am saying the system gives you a false sense of security. Opinions?

    Fear of drive throughs? :facepalm:

    I would be more scared of the 'food' they are serving.

    Com'on, guys. I have a flip phone. I am not hip to the new technology. I got a story on this car coming out tomorrow so i need to know if there's blind spots in these systems. And I was in San Bernardino where they not only kill you but drag your boy around on a chain.....

    Ignoring the specific drive-thru issue, I would be concerned if the 360 camera made something "invisible". Of course, just like simple backup camera's, the manufacturer will always put the burden on the driver to actually look around. If I had 360 camera, I would have someone do a walk around so I could learn where the blind spots are. Shouldn't be too hard for the software to be updated to identify those blind spots to the viewer of the screen. Maybe if Hyundai gets enough complaints, they will make such an update.

    Also ignoring the specific drive-thru issue, each system is slightly different.
    As mentioned the easiest (and fastest) way would be to simply have someone walk around the car and see what gets picked up.
