not far fetched, suv's like the lexus has a front camera plus forward radar, some is even equipped with a sonar so you may gauage how deep the water level is before you can ford it. even the 2014 camaro is equipped with a front facing camera....
after infamous sensational accident of a tahoe and escalade driven by a mom accidentally backed up and killed a toddler, reverse radar and camera is a must by law for suv in america and some like lexus went the extra mile.
have you driven a full size suv or even the brand new tbz...? it is extremely hard to guage the distance of the front(and im 6' already) and there is a blind spot in the front where you cannot see an ordinary elementary school boy, hence you need to be extremely careful when drivingmin the city.
