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.

Couple of things. Ground crews actually push the plane back from the terminal, so it isn’t the pilot looking over his shoulder. Though that’s kinda funny to visualize.
Also, at any decent sized airport they have a ground control system that pretty much works just like air traffic control. They tell them when they can push back, where to go, and when to go, till they get in line at the runway and get handed off to ATC.
