Why not a small camera on your car to record every trip?
Answers:
You wouldn't need to rewind with digital, but it sounds a very plausible idea.
Why dont you start this and see how it works. Also you may need lots of cameras to prove lots of things. You need cameras on the dials, feet pedals etc. It could get complex.
With GPS technology improving all the time I would imagine that would superseed your theory.
What we would really need is a computer like a black box. If all cars had them in an accident you would compare the two.
i dont have a car, can i get it on my shoes? i mainly walk.
but you got spunk kid! I like your style!
I don't think I want to rewind a tape at the end of every trip.
Soooooo many problems with this from the perspective of invasion of privacy and freedom of information - do you really want to have your destination recorded every time you go out? I sure as hell don't. And the problem with 'fault' in an accident is so well laid down by case law and common practice is such a minimal significance that this is a completely inappropriate soloution to the small number of cases which cannot be resolved by accident evidence.
erm who would pay for it, how would you make it tamper proof, what size of hard drive would be required, do you want to pay for maintanence and repairs? This would be good for accidents but it would be misused by the government.. big brother is watching you (john prescott lol)
smart a..s, 90 percent of car already equipped by black box, info easily to be retrieved from any car, nobody cares
You must be in the insurance bizz.
even with quality cameras that costs a lot, some details might be missed by it. so it's not any good. besides if you say the other guy was using cellphone and wasn't paying attention to the traffic it'd be hard to record him in the face with his cell up to the ear. do you know what i mean? most accidents happen at high speed when you don't have the reaction time to correct mistakes. so the camera also needs to be high speed. and these kind costs too much.
plus the camera could get bashed and it's no good then huh?
My round trip to work is over 300 miles - to watch the video - sooooo boring
You like spying on people cause your a pervert. Youd probably drive behind young girls on pushbikes, take the film out and smack yourself round your oap home
Yeah and why cant all cars drive like Will Smiths Lexus in I,Robot.That would be seriously cool.Dont really like the camera idea though.Thanks for listenining.
Taking your camera on the road is about doing, being, going, living, asking, telling, and learning on the road.
definitely is is great experiment / use with little expenses.
Not practical.
It can only record one view (what if it's pointing forward and someone shunts you from behind)
it can be erased if it does not favour.the driver.
It cannot record all factors i.e. weather conditions
I doubt it would be admisable in court.
This would be too much of a "big brother" situation. The gov't already has enough info of our lives, no need to give anyone else more data. Although, if you personally wanted one, the technology exists and is probably not too expensive. Many police cars have cameras.
Some newer cars already have "black boxes." I really don't like that idea. I don't want some device recording what I do in my vehicle.
