That's definitely a problem, but the ridiculously high belt line of modern cars isn't really as affected by that though. All modern cars are basically the equivalent of the old man who pulls their pants up to their nipples.

Look at the 1990s impala vs the last gen Impala. Rear visibility is nonexistant in it because the trunk is so high.

Basically people just want to feel like their in some impenetrable fortress, at the expense of not being able to see shit around them.

Solution: Add a $10 camera and a $50 video screen, and markup the car $2,000 because it's got a rear view camera now.
