And we have screens and cameras sorted out at this point. I'm not worried about the reliability of the tech. Anything they can do to cars to change up some of the things we take for granted always interests me. That is an option I would totally be interested in.

The screens better be bright as hell to be visible when low sun is hitting them. My backup cameras are useless in those conditions.
Also people with poor near vision are using their distance vison/lenses when using an actual mirror. The screen necessitates your vision at the distance of the screen itself is good. Can you see the tiny motorbike ripping up at 200km/h in the lane beside you on the screen with your old man eyes and glasses?
