why every car these days doesn’t come with built in dash cam technology
In: Technology
Not allowed directly in many countries due to privacy issues. In Germany only a Loop of 15 Seconds or situation-dependent recording IS allowed. But this Changes as courts rule different.
Probably because the average price of a new car has already ballooned up to $50,000.
Most people can’t (shouldn’t) even be buying those cars (looking at you people with $700 car payments and no savings).
Adding things like dash cameras will only continue to raise the prices of cars when most people can’t even afford them as it is.
Standard part of Tesla. Don’t buy outdated technology if you want a standard built-in dashcam.
Why would they add something that could be priced independently? Be glad airbags (at least here) became a legal obligation, otherwise even that would be sold separately
LOL You’d have a million meat heads screaming it’s government surveillance and it takes away their feedum
I places like Korea where it’s more valued, that is how it is, as well as storing a lot of other info on a black box, Americans have this skewed ideology of privacy so we have an adverse reaction to cameras and the like I think
I’d remove it before I went through the first tank of fuel.
But then again, the first brand new vehicle that comes with MY2000 tech I’ll happily buy
It’s not legal in all countries so you’d have to either limit your market or set up dedicated non camera production lines
I don’t know, it’s one more feature that will break. As the technology advances you’re stuck with an outdated one. That’s why aftermarket dash cam technology is so much better. People who want the technology can buy it and those who don’t want it go on about their lives.
You want the car company watch you the whole time?
