I rented a car and the rear view mirror is not a mirror at all but rather is a tiny LED screen showing the output of a camera. This is actually fucking terrible because I have no idea where the camera is, therefore I have no idea where this notional "mirror" is meant to be in space and therefore I cannot gauge distances, normally one of the main things you look into a rear view mirror to do
It’s incredible that people will buy this kind of crap for a ton of money!
I live in similar conditions. I think this depends mostly on design and placement. I’ve got an older Civic with a reverse camera which almost never has this problem because it’s located under an overhang. I think at worst it might require a quick wipe if dirty/covered by snow, but the same is true of a rear window.
Design placement is definitely part of the issue, since it can get obstructed during a drive in the winter storms. Thankfully my rear window has a wiper to clean it when needed.
