Check out this DRS-1100 Driver recording system for your car.  Basically, it’s a black box for your car to record your driving in case of accidents and insurance disputes.

I personally do think this is a great idea to protect against any kind of prejudice by cops or even for solid evidence if your car gets hit.

I can recall countless times where other people crash into my car, yet I cannot prove it in words or pictures.  This will definitely help insurance companies better at finding out who caused the accident.

Having a Vehicle-Mounted, Incident Recording System like the DRS-1100, installed in your car, would provide investigators with a highly accurate record of the events surrounding an accident. Investigators would be able to actually see, frame by frame, the events leading up to and including the actual collision or mishap, and in most cases even the moments following the actual impact. This type of collective data would contribute a much more accurate and scientific analysis of the events surrounding an accident. This is no longer science fiction. You can own a Driver recording System today.

What a Waste! - Mazda destroys 4,703 shiny new cars worth $100 million!

Posted in Business, Cars, Consumer, Earth, Educational, Industrial, Video by max on the May 1st, 2008 at 3:23 am

Geez, this is funny decision to destroy the cars that were pretty much brand new. If their cars were good enough, they should have let it back on the market. (It was simply tilted for godsakes!)  At least they could have donated to a 3rd world country at the worst.  Mazda gets a big thumbs down for wasting earth’s resources, they put their company image before mother nature.

What do you think?

The freighter, the Cougar Ace, spent weeks bobbing on the high seas, listing at a severe 60-degree angle, before finally being righted. The mishap created a dilemma: What to do with the cars? They had remained safely strapped down throughout the ordeal — but no one knew for sure what damage, if any, might be caused by dangling cars at such a steep angle for so long. Might corrosive fluids seep into chambers where they don’t belong? Was the Cougar Ace now full of lemons?
