You also find a lot of furniture with the "real leather" label on it, but what they put, in the flyspec 1 point font on page 8 of the brochure, even smaller than the disclaimers about price and availability, and the return policy and warranty exclusions, is the type of leather used. Seat and back might be real leather, perhaps even from a cow, but the bolsters are horse leather, and the sides, rear and any other parts with a leather cover are actually fake leather, or vinyl embossed to look like leather. Thus only 2 hide sections per seat, and the rest is cheap fake, but your price is based on them both having real leather all over, and that the interior is actually made from real wood, not just made from pressboard cut into strips and used in place of the wood, and with urethane foam to fill in the rest of the volume.

I would say the 5Mp cameras are likely cheaper than the old ones, as they are current products made in large volume as security cameras. So the cost to use them is more the updated firmware in the car to handle the higher data rate, and the different front end possibly to interface with the camera, though likely it is all still a standard security camera rate, and can be done with simply flipping bits in the front end interfaces. Thus actually no cost to improve the cameras, though probably most of the time the higher resolution will simply be downsampled to lower resolution, as after all lane departure and such really only works with edges, so more data is bad. Higher resolution possibly to improve sign recognition, and of course better in car video recording, though likely with a higher data rate a larger SD card for storage now needed.
Cutting the sensors likely just relying on the computer and stored data, plus knowing accurately vehicle position, to provide the same level of detection, though it will not help against things moving after the image goes out of frame.
