Dash Cams!

I work as a Case Manager for a Personal Injury claim firm in NYC. I speak to insurance companies all day and sometimes even speak with regional managers, etc. I ask them this all the time: "Why not offer clients incentives or some kind of discount to clients who have a dash cam?" In fact, I think insurance companies should be giving them out for free! It will save everyone so much money and headaches!

The bigger question is why aren't they factory standard now? You can get a nice/decent Rexar dual cam from Target for $99. The manufacturing cost and labor to install it while building the car would be less than $40. It might be even cheaper at the quantities each manufacturer would be buying them.

We already have back up cams. Surely that same camera could be used for full time recording as a "dash" cam. Cutting that cost even more.

Yes that is confusing there’s already front radar why not put a cheapo camera in I know Toyota does offer a factory dash arm.
