That looks like my 2020 Explorer with the 360 cameras, but better because it's using almost the whole screen instead of just the top third. Awesome!!

On the left, we see 3 mode : 360 view, 180 view, back view. But what is the toggle button on the right ? Looks like a P and ... and atenna? Could it be to activate the radar or something like that?

But overall, look nice!

I'm guessing that's to turn on/off the parking sensor notification/beeps?

That’d be my guess, that it turns the sensors on and off. My F150 has a physical button with that same icon.

Anyone know if there is a quick access button while driving forward to get to the rear camera like on the tesla?

In every Ford I’ve driven the rear camera is only active for the the first few mph after shifting out of reverse. It cannot be turned on while driving.

Yes, most cars I've seen are like that. The only one I have seen with an instant leave on while driving access button is the tesla. The tesla rear window is so small, it is really needed to see what's behind while driving. It is helpful in that regard even though at first it is an odd distraction. The ME rear window is much better, but still on the small side.

Very cool photos, great find! My Gladiator has a rear camera option that can be operated at full speed. Mostly I just use it when I'm paranoid that I forgot to close the tailgate.

You need this if you have a rack on the back or are towing a trailer -- neither of which Ford seems to want us to do in this car.
