Some would argue that a backup camera, Bluetooth and AC were unnecessary.

LOL my daughter and son are currently sharing a 2015 VW Jetti TSI that does not have a backup camera. Both of them wow their friends by being able to competently back into a parking space using their mirrors alone.

I prefer the mirrors, but really appreciate that I can see if I'm going to run something or someone over. 

Backing out of a space is where the camera really shines, it has a better vantage point than I do, especially if there is a taller vehicle next to me

I use both - for a long while, even though my cars for the last nine years have had backup cameras, I grudingly starting using mine because ¯_(ツ)_/¯ might as well.

I'm not entirely dependent on it, though, and if it's a situation where the camera isn't optimal (lots of rain on the camera lens, lots of steam because it's really cold, or whatever), I can still using my backup skills with mirrors.
