VW fixed the problem of dirty backup cameras with this simple technology

It's an adorable little gold VW Beetle "Dune."

You start it up and put it in reverse and ...

... the backing camera activates and you can see behind you on the infotainment screen.

Here's the back of the car.

But where is the camera? Don't see one anywhere, just that famous VW badge ...

... which flips open when the car is in reverse to reveal the hidden camera! Can you spot it?

There it is. Quite cool, but something the driver never sees, as the badge closes when the car isn't in reverse. You can hear it opening, however, from the driver's seat. And because the camera is almost always covered, it stays clean.
