A dashcam is a great idea because you can't always rely on a witness to prove that an accident wasn't your fault. Here's the one I picked up

 

[MegaDave91]

I knew it was a stunt!

 

Linus, you need a new car bro.

[Imabigmac]

o boy, i must stay up for to see this. Only problem I see is the amount of footage that is able to be stored without overwriting is not a huge amount but I guess it sufficient. I would find the wire hanging down rather distractive and annoying as well, I would much  prefer a "dash" mounted one instead if they actually exist.

[Tech_Dreamer]

i see, so the twitter feed about running someone over with a "car" ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On another note, it was an awkward thing seeing the video start out like that. but you guys did a good job pulling it together,

You never said anything about a Ferrari.

We need a donation button for a new car for Linus.

[Ssoele]

Awesome!

[Imabigmac]

We need a donation button for a new car for Linus.

I live in WNY which is one of the rainiest places in the US so I feel his pain.

Hilarious video Linus!

But srsly, was that a bullet hole in your windshield? :-O

[da_deity]

wow this is actually very useful.

Since I live in the states, and in my city (Las Vegas) we are not able to contact metro if a "fender bender" occurs. Therefore when accidents occur. and when it comes to insurance claims it becomes a big ordeal.

Having this video proof during an accident can really help your case if you are not the one at fault.

I've seen dash cams before but their quality was lacking and very expensive, although they did come with some cool features like streaming the video live to your phone and saving it in a cloud based storage, which would let you record continuous video even when your car is parked.

For this price, it is very reasonable to invest in one of these just to be able to watch out for drivers in daily commuting. 

[Lord_Kitty]

Linus, why is your windshield cracked?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, did not watch till the end.

[Akolyte]

thats one heck of a Lambo... 

[xentric]

I been looking for a dash cam after I was involved in a hit and run. Going to look into this one.

[CatCloud]

That car...wow...@LinusTech replace it man! Hold on ill help you.

As soon as Slick mentioned having an injury during the opening skit, first thing that came to my mind was how much you could sue someone for bruising your own ego..

 

As for the product, not entirely sure if it's mentioned as I don't own a car, I didn't particularly peruse through the product page, but for managing footage and when Linus was going over how you could save clips and record over the rest of the footage, it made me think that this could benefit from smart phone integration, as the limited interface on the device could be a little, uh, fiddly, if you will, for people in our advanced technological age.

[pk-man]

Linus could enter that car on Pimp My Ride

[DBells94]

top lol, one of the best linus videos ive seen so far

 

you should send your car to a repair shop though

[Huntakillaz]

Great vid, but i'm curious about night time driving, as it's different from a room with a lamp.

[PortentousLad]

I call BS, that's probably Slicks car which Linus accumulated to his reservoir of props. The Lambo is hidden in the underground base with the "L.A.S.E.R.".

 

But seriously that car would not be allowed to drive on German roads.

[KarsonC]

Linus, you need a new car for your baby

[gutserker]

feel bad for you linus. if it wasn't for being pacific north-west and raining like climate change here, I'd sugest riding the bike more.

[biohazard918]

Sick ride dude at least the heat works right?

[crystal6tak]

That car was painful to watch...

[ShadowCaptain]

@LinusTech In the UK we would probably be banned from driving if we took something like that on the road. Our cars have to have a yearly MOT test to ensure they are road worthy. They check tyres, co2 emissions, safety equipment and all sorts. If you do not have an MOT certificate, you can be prosecuted, fined or banned from driving
