Dash CAM combined with Stinger integrated cameras?

[scar_007]

With all the electronics and cameras on the car, it would be great if Kia or someone else could design an app (maybe part of the Kia UVO system, Android Auto, etc) that could integrate with the car's cameras and allow an external USB drive/memory card to be connected to record the cameras around the car.

I realize that people will have issues, like maybe it is not 4k, etc. But I think it would be nice.

Having 2 dash cams in other cars already, I would much prefer to use the integrated cameras, sensors, etc. Having the system use the avoidance sensors to determine when the Stinger is about to be back into in the parking garage, etc. and automatically record it.

I believe Tesla is doing something like that where they use the driving cameras to assist with security. I would gladly pay Kia $300+ to enable this. Heck, I might even be willing to pay additional to upgrade the cameras and maybe do Bluetooth downloads to my phone when in range.

Just a thought....

Adding on to my own post... If they did this it would be a cash cow for them. Spend the development costs once, then reap the rewards every time someone purchases it, as it would mostly be a downloaded option, the cost per additional unit sold is nil, unless the buyer wants to upgrade the camera, then they make money on that too....

This is already being done in Korea. Newer Kias/Hyundais/Genesis cars (I would say circa 2015 or earlier) have been coming with built-in dash cams that use the front and back built-in cameras.
