How are they going to get around the backup camera requirement? I guess it could be done through your phone but that sounds like it might be a support nightmare.
The rear view mirror has been used in The past as a mini screen and I liked it. And if you unhook the camera in my Ford it would flash the little screen blue for a moment then realize nothing was hooked up and would turn off. Though you could just unhook the mirror connector and it would be just a mirror as well if you want to disassemble the interior to unplug it.
Europe and Japan had backup cameras with no touchscreen on cars 10-15 years ago. The radio head unit just switches from a small 4x6 inch LCD display to back up camera when in reverse.

It does say “no touchscreen”, not “no screen”. I’m betting it will have a small screen for the backup camera, with no touch elements.
It has a small screen in the speedometer.
The article states it will display the backup camera feed on the dashboard screen
