The interiors of automobiles are becoming increasingly complex these days. Hookups for iPods, built-in satellite radio systems, subwoofers, LCD screens and Bluetooth capability for that cellphone are just some of the most recent additions to the electronics-laden auto interior.
How about a windshield-mounted camera system that records car crashes - as in,
your own car crash. The amount of litigation messes alone would make the Clarion DriveEye appeal to those who have been involved in many car crashes or who live in areas where traffic congestion makes an accident likely to happen. Tired of trying to convince a traffic judge or court that "you're in the right" just based on your word? Video proof changes the game.
Only available in Japan for now, the DriveEye turns on before a crash occurs by sensing emergency braking and records footage before, during and after an accident has occurred. Packed in n alloy housing, the device will resist extreme pressures and records up to 15 seconds before an accident and up to 5 seconds after. Not that it would be viewing pleasure at all, but it may just help a driver involved in a crash
where actual proof is needed later on. Say, to that favorite insurance agent of yours.

Another great device not available in the US. I'd prefer it always records around 2 minutes, though.
ReplyThese types of devices are legal in the US, are they? I mean, it's not like it could be used in court or anything.
ReplyStill, I'd like to have one...you know, for those 'YouTube' moments.
