What is this camera doing here?
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places but I can't find what this camera is doing installed in the rear vision mirror - at least I assume it's a camera? I don't want to come across as paranoid but it is nice knowing what things are in the car for. :nix:

It's a camera. They are installed on random cars (not just Mercedes) to monitor driving habits using wifi signal to send the information to the US traffic control. This study was approved by the govt several years ago, just not made public. How do I know? Well, I was part of the implementation team. This study was approved to run through the end of 2015.

Well you guys are no fun! :rolf::rolf::rolf::rolf:
I was thinking/hoping to get more of a reaction! :smash: |
It's also an breathalyzer which monitors alcohol level of drivers. That information would be crucial after an accident.
|
I was wondering who was going to spill the beans first.

Please pay no attention to these guys...It's a Retina Scan!

You know why the camera is there? Because you're holding it facing a mirror.
