    Why dont cars companies install dash cam style cameras at factory level ?

    Dash cams are kind of a pain in the ass for a number of reasons. It would seem relatively easy ( and a good up sell) to put cameras in at the factory level. You would never need to worry about the "cops story versus yours" and would have evidence in the event of an accident.

    This is my deep thought for the day

    My guess would be b/c 1/2 of the people would then be filming themselves causing the accidents, etc.... but I may be jaded with that being my first response.

    Its also a little big brotherish - but that is coming - where all streets, intersections, etc. will have cameras mic'd up.

    this, and that in the event the camera doesn't work, it's one more thing that a dealership would have to replace, on all warrantied vehicles. they probably don't see a profit incentive.

    Same reason the cops don't want them.

    Then they can't lie about what happened.

    Frankly I'm shocked the car insurance companies haven't demanded this.
