Clarion Drive Eye Records Accidents to Keep Lawyers at Bay

The Clarion DriveEye is a new gadget that attaches to the windshield of your car and records accidents to help protect you from lawsuits. The camera automatically senses emergency braking and starts recording video during and after an accident. A G-force sensor detects hard braking and starts the recording automatically.

Fifteen seconds of footage from before the accident are saved in the cameras buffer and additional five seconds is saved from after the crash. The camera itself is enclosed in a magnesium case to help it survive the accidents it records. You can also trigger manual recording to catch some footage of the hottie crossing the street in front of you if you want. Video footage is recorded to a 128MB CF memory card. Pricing is about $412, or 49,800 Yen.
