Is it safe to rely on the BMW 5 Series backup camera?

I've heard mixed reviews about the reliability of backup cameras, especially in luxury vehicles like the BMW 5 Series. Should I trust the backup camera as my main source of visibility when backing up or should I also rely on my own mirrors and turning around to check for obstacles?

It's always better to be safe than sorry. While backup cameras can be a helpful tool, you should never solely rely on them. Always use your mirrors and physically check your surroundings before backing up.
