While not everyone loves to drive around, it is all too important these days if you were to install a dashboard camera of some sort for added safety in the event of an accident or minor fender bender. After all, without evidence from a dashboard camera, a lot of it might boil down to a case of “You say, I say” in front of the police and authorities. Why not let recorded visual evidence have the final word in the matter? Autowit knows that the upcoming holiday season will see plenty of people travel to various destinations: to visit family, for a quick holiday, or simply during one’s daily commute, which is why they have released the $69.99 Autowit dashboard camera.
This is a unique offering compared to many other generic models that have already flooded the market. Autowit’s model will be a 5-inch IPS mirror dash cam, sporting touchscreen capability in addition to a Full HD front and rear lens. That is correct, you will be able to obtain recording of both the front and the back, making life far more convenient for you. Of course, the rear camera will have a slightly lower quality at 720p as opposed to the Full HD front camera.
With the touchscreen display, you can switch modes from full screen display or picture display, and it also does function as a regular rear view mirror. Just like other modern vehicles, the mirror dash cam will also automatically switch into reversing mode in full view whenever you engage the reverse gear, now how about that for it being smart? In order to maintain the most recent footage, all recorded video footage can be set to 1, 2, or 3 minutes in length. Seamless loop recording will automatically overwrite the oldest ones the moment the SD card when it is full.
In addition, the integrated G-sensor can identify moving objects on the road ahead, where it will automatically record the moment when driving. Should you leave your parked vehicle alone and it detects any motion, the camera will automatically wake up and start recording. Autowit’s dashboard camera is now available with a discount when you use the HOLIDAY2018 promo code.

A tweet from Tesla CEO Elon Musk suggests that the company might be interested in working with Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz on an electric van. Tesla itself doesn’t make vans, not yet anyway, while the Sprinter from Mercedes is known to be a veritable workhorse. It launched the latest generation of the Sprinter in February this year. Mercedes-Benz does plan to offer electric versions of the Sprinter from next year.
Musk was responding to a tweet about the Sprinter van and said that it may be “interesting” to work with Daimler/Mercedes on an electric version of the Sprinter, adding that it’s a great van. “We will inquire,” he said. This suggests that the company will talk about a potential partnership with Daimler on an electric version of the sprinter.
Daimler hasn’t officially commented on the matter so it’s position on a collaboration with Tesla is not yet known. However, a spokesman for the auto giant told Reuters that it’s pleased by the interest that Musk has shown in the van.
Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche did tell a Polish newspaper last month that he does not rule out a partnership with Tesla at some point in the future. Some of you might remember that the two companies have had a relationship in the past. Daimler bought a 9.1 percent stake in Tesla for around $50 million in 2009 before the company went public. It later sold its stake in October 2017 for $780 million.
Maybe interesting to work with Daimler/Mercedes on an electric Sprinter. That’s a great van. We will inquire.

Japanese toy maker Takara Tomy has teamed up with Casio to make a very cool watch and watch holder combo. Casio Japan has introduced this special edition G-Shock x Transformers DW-6900TF and it is amazing. This set is being released to celebrate 35 years of G-Shock and the 35th anniversary of Transformers in 2019.
You get a watch with Optimus Prime’s color scheme of red and blue, along with a transformable Optimus Prime figure that doubles as a watch holder. I mean, just look at how cool this thing is. The watch displays in either “pedestal” mode or in robot form. Or you can wear it. The G-Shock 5600 or 6900 also fits in the watch holder too.
The G-Shock x Transformers DW-6900TF-SET will be officially available on December 8, 2018 for 29,000 yen before tax (~$257 USD). I’m hoping they offer some other Transformers watch sets as well. This one is really damn cool. I wouldn’t mind having a few of these lined up on my desk.
The bad news? Well, sadly this is a Japan-only deal. I know. I’m depressed too. Why do they always get me so excited and then pull the Japan-exclusive crap on me? It’s so mean. It’s abuse really. America deserves this too you know.
