You check & it's all clear, start backing up & someone else across the lane backs up at the same time. Sometimes it's a pedestrian in a world of their own walking behind a backing up car.
My wifes car has a camera but also has an audible alarm if it detects an object when you're in reverse. I think Nissan should add this feature to the Z.

 The problem is generally idiot drivers that pay no mind to reverse lights or slowly backing out vehicles. Your blind spots are there, it's going to still be a challenge to see clearly due to the design of the Z. Backing into your spot is the easiest and safest option. The reverse camera does have a good FOV to allow some visibility around corners for backing out. But you shouldn't put 100% trust into it.
I back out slowly as well and use my reverse camera to check around corners. But people are notoriously impatient and will speed by you instead of waiting for you to back out.
