The War on Britain's Roads (BBC Documentary / tabloid tv)

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.

I'm sure you're right. It's saddening that some safety measures are being driven by financial economies and profit improvement; in such cases to find out who is at fault so the relevant company picks up the bill.

I remember seeing on television years ago technology aimed at vehicles that dealt with (some issues of) speeding. A transponder on speed limit signs would alert the vehicle to the speed limit it had entered, and wouldn't allow it to exceed the maximum speed for that zone.

I wonder if this will ever be introduced, and if so, will it be a safety or financially driven introduction?
