We had a person who caused a three car accident admit they were looking through their backup cam when they backed out of their driveway onto a busy street.
A lot of this is driver training. Drivers should be trained to use the technology as an aid, not something they completely rely on.
You can try to train it out of the drivers, but you will never be able to train it out of people who grew up walking around staring at a smartphone. New cars have brake assist aka apply brakes for you when you are too busy trying to coax nudes out of someone to drive your car.
