How on earth do planes not crash into each other when taxiing in/out of gates?

I find it amazing that planes don’t crash into each other when taxiing in/out of gates. How do they do that? It’s not like the pilots have a backview mirror/window through which they can look behind the plane.

Planes dont reverse from gates under their own power. They are pushed back using pushbike tractors/tugs. Those low down weird looking truck things. The pushback is managed by groundcrew, and only on the authority of air traffic control.
