I don’t know but was in a Tesla 2 weeks ago and it’s massive screen had the rear camera on most of the time whilst driving.

And from my experience towing my classic caravan(at the posted speed limit) people driving not towing anything will do the stupidest things to get in front of you, then guess what happens when they do, they slow down. This is followed by going in excess of the speed limit where there were passing lanes, then slowing down when the extra lane finished.
