Why Dash Cams Make Perfect Sense in Rideshare Vehicles
Summary
For millions of city-dwellers, Uber and its competitors have become a popular choice for commuters, beating more traditional transportation options in terms of convenience, value and integration with our increasingly digitized lives. Yet the nature of the ridesharing business model means that millions of us end up in close proximity with a complete stranger on a daily basis, meeting within the confined space of a vehicle, often alone, at night, or in quieter parts of town. Modern drive recorders and dash cams can now integrate HDR-capable sensors that capture improved detail in darker cabin interiors, while features like infrared lighting offer a solution to night-time rides. It’s easy to see how investment in dash cams is encouraging higher operational and safety standards in their vehicles, providing an effective tool for enforcing policy and investigating complaints. The unobtrusive and compact design includes GPS support with live tracking using a customizable app, a 3-axis G-sensor and four infra-red LEDs that ensure a clear video stream of the vehicle’s interior at all times.
