Dash cams are already essential in many countries because of
scam artists who try to create accidents so they can sue you. They’ve also
proven useful for catching cars flying into buildings, or the occasional
meteor, as happened in Thailand and in Russia, all thanks to dash cams in the
right place at the right time.
But while auto con artists aren’t as common here, recording
your excursions is a reasonable precaution to take—especially if you’re driving
professionally. And even if you’re not, you may unexpectedly appreciate using
it and embedded GPS to chronicle and map your travels—or tap into your smart
home, as we recently tested with an Alexa-enabled dash cam, the Garmin Speak
Plus (available on Amazon).
