• Given time everything will end up being filmed.

    Insurance companies are going towards pervasive monitoring: GPS, speed, cameras, etc.

    They're started with the very young (high risk) and the sports cars (high risk due to high speed) but I wouldn't be surprised if in 5 years most motor vehicles don't come with a camera and the guarantee of a lawsuit for any screwing up.

    We're just in the very early days of that.

    It's coming quicker than you think. I recently worked on software for a camera fitted into the cabs of a national haulage company. It records the last 20 secs of live video, if one of the accelerometers are triggered by an accident, the video gets sent via the phone network to a control centre. Haulage company got a big discount on insurance premiums as a consequence.
