The startup addresses the obvious privacy question in the article but it's an interesting question. Personally, I'd rather protect my family than anything else.
there's no privacy when it comes to driving, it's a public activity.
but this is good, the police can focus on making sure people are not driving stolen cars, and if someone uses their own car for crime they will be easier to catch.
but this makes me wonder why cctv cameras don't already do this?
I guess this catches suspicious activity rather than being a blackbox used after the fact.
It seems like CCTV is just not used at all in US - I haven't noticed any. Maybe it's because there's no good infrastructure for it. Flock's stuff seems to be wireless and solar-powered(?), and sounds like in general very affordable. Guessing price point matters. The folks who have $$, probably have security gates installed.
