While some fancy new vehicles have built-in cameras to detect and record collisions, most of us still need to install one separately. But not every dash cam has to be an eyesore with loose wires hanging in the middle of your windshield.
In fact, the Wolfbox G840H Dual Dash Cam integrates directly onto your rearview mirror, blending seamlessly into your front cabin, while adding a 12-inch display. And right now, it's on sale for just $130 at Amazon.

Rather than replacing your existing rearview mirror, the Wolfbox G840H Dual Dash Cam snaps directly onto it using the included adhesive mount. Once installed, the 12-inch display enhances rear visibility by dynamically brightening and dimming the real-time video feed from the connected backup camera. Everything captured by the front and rear cameras is continuously stored on a 32GB SD card by default, erasing past footage as it runs out of space. However, when the built-in G-sensor detects a collision, the impact footage is locked until you're able to retrieve it.
If that sounds complicated to set up, it sort of is, but it doesn't have to be. Mounting the front camera is the easy part. The challenge is in the wiring. Although it does come with all of the necessary hardware to power the front and rear cameras using the 12-volt outlet in your car, many customers choose to purchase the optional hardwire kit, which routes into your fuse box, enabling 24-hour surveillance when you're parked.

'I don't normally write reviews but this product has been a game changer for me!' one shopper exclaimed. 'I was recently in an accident and this would've been amazing to have at the time. Having it now eases my mind and makes me feel prepared if something were to happen again.'
'It really is a great dash cam and backup camera,' a reviewer touted. 'The picture quality is amazing and when it's pitch black at night, the camera has a great viewing ability.'
'After seeing other dash cam brands demonstrated on YouTube versus Wolfbox, it's my personal opinion that this is the best dash cam out there,' another customer added.
Apart from a tire inflator, a jump starter, and maybe an OBD2 scanner, a dash cam is one of the first accessories you should purchase for your automotive emergency kit. With the Wolfbox G840H Dual Dash Cam, you'll likely never need another one. At $130, it's an absolute steal, especially for those who don't have a dash cam already. Equip your car with the ultimate insurance policy before it returns to full price.

Tesla ordered to pay $243m over Autopilot deaths
Tesla has been ordered to pay $243m (£183m) in compensation after a jury ruled that its Autopilot technology was partly to blame for a fatal crash involving one of its cars. A Miami jury on Friday held that Elon Musk's company bore significant responsibility for the death of a young woman and serious injuries to her boyfriend because its technology had failed. They assigned blame even though a reckless driver of a Tesla Model S admitted he was distracted after dropping his mobile phone. He rammed into the couple, Naibel Benavides Leon and Dillon Angulo, who were standing next to their parked Chevrolet. 22-year-old Ms Benavides Leon died following the crash. Tesla has now been ordered to pay $43m in compensatory damages and $200m in punitive damages to Mr Angulo and the family of Ms Benavides Leon. The verdict is the latest setback for Mr Musk, who is under mounting pressure as a result of falling sales and share price at Tesla. The billionaire's ill-fated alliance with Donald Trump has done significant damage to the electric car company's brand image and critics say Mr Musk has lost his focus. Autopilot is a driver-assistance system that Tesla says is intended to reduce a driver's 'overall workload'. However, it has faced repeated investigations in the US over its safety record and has not been cleared for use on British roads. Dan O'Dowd, a road safety campaigner who has long questioned Tesla's technology, said: 'Today's ruling is a heavy blow to Elon Musk and Tesla.' The Miami decision ends a four-year long case that was remarkable not just in its outcome but in the fact it even made it to trial. Many similar cases against Tesla have been dismissed or settled by the company to avoid the spotlight of a trial. The trial itself was contentious. Lawyers acting for the victims claimed Tesla either hid or lost key evidence, including data and video recorded seconds before the accident. The plaintiffs hired a forensic data expert who dug it up key evidence. Presented with the findings, Tesla said it made a mistake and claimed the failure to present the evidence was an honest mistake. A Tesla spokesman said: 'Today's verdict is wrong and only works to set back automotive safety and jeopardize Tesla's and the entire industry's efforts to develop and implement life-saving technology. 'We plan to appeal given the substantial errors of law and irregularities at trial.'

Law firm Quinn Emanuel accused of turning on ex-client in fintech case
Aug 1 (Reuters) - A financial technology provider previously represented by Quinn Emanuel accused the law firm of betraying its loyalties and violating ethics rules by taking the case of a former executive suing the company over his termination. In a filing, opens new tab in the case in California federal court on Thursday, Pagaya Technologies (PGY.O), opens new tab asked a judge to disqualify Quinn Emanuel from representing Hugh Edmundson in the lawsuit he filed in June. In the new filing Pagaya and its hedge fund affiliate Theorem Technology accused Quinn Emanuel of breaking attorney ethics rules in its new work for Edmundson, a former top executive at Theorem. Pagaya had acquired Theorem last year. 'The firm is a repeat offender, having been disqualified multiple times for this exact misconduct,' lawyers for Pagaya and Theorem at law firm Gibson Dunn wrote. Pagaya said Quinn Emanuel had 'brazenly violated its ethical obligations by turning around and suing its own client.' Quinn Emanuel in a statement on Friday said "Pagaya is no longer a client, and our current work is not related to what we did for them before." In a statement on Friday, a spokesperson for law firm Gibson Dunn said "Quinn Emanuel is suing its former client over matters about which it previously advised — a clear conflict of interest that courts have not hesitated to disqualify firms for in the past." Last year, Quinn Emanuel was disqualified from representing Elon Musk's social media platform X in a lawsuit accusing data-scraping company Bright Data of illegally copying and selling content. The law firm had previously represented Bright Data in another lawsuit. In an April letter from Quinn Emanuel to Edmundson's attorneys, which was included in the court file, the firm had said the "suggestion of a conflict on the part of Quinn Emanuel is false and inaccurate." The firm also said it had set up "appropriate ethical screens out of an abundance of caution" to separate its prior work for Pagaya with its representation of Edmundson. Edmundson's lawsuit accused Pagaya and Theorem of wrongful termination, retaliation and other claims stemming from his firing in April from Theorem, where he was chief investment officer. Edmundson founded Theorem in 2014. Edmundson alleged that 'almost immediately after the merger closed, defendants began systematically dismantling Theorem's independence and strategic decision-making authority.' Quinn Emanuel provided legal work last year to Pagaya on non-compete and non-solicitation provisions related to Theorem employees, Pagaya said. It further alleged that Quinn Emanuel's prior work for the company has created a "direct and incurable conflict of interest." In Thursday's court filing, Pagaya said that Edmundson's lawsuit was baseless and that its claims are governed by a binding arbitration agreement. The case is Hugh Edmundson v.

Tesla ordered by Florida jury to pay $329 million in fatal Autopilot crash
Aug 1 (Reuters) - A Florida jury on Friday found Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab liable in the 2019 fatal crash of an Autopilot-equipped Model S and ordered Elon Musk's automaker to pay $329 million to the family of a deceased woman and an injured survivor. Jurors in Miami federal court ordered Tesla to pay $129 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages to the estate of Naibel Benavides Leon and to her former boyfriend Dillon Angulo. Lawyers for the plaintiffs said the trial was the first involving the wrongful death of a third party resulting from Autopilot. The plaintiffs had sought $345 million. Tesla has faced many similar lawsuits over its vehicles' self-driving capabilities, but they have been resolved or dismissed without getting to trial. A judge rejected Tesla's efforts to dismiss the case earlier in the summer, and experts said this may encourage other litigants against the EV maker. 'I think it's a big deal," said Alex Lemann, a professor at Marquette University Law School, who said this may make future settlements more expensive for Tesla. "This is the first time that Tesla has been hit with a judgment in one of the many, many fatalities that have happened as a result of its auto-pilot technology." Friday's verdict could impede efforts by Musk, the world's richest person, to convince investors that Tesla can become a leader in so-called autonomous driving for private vehicles as well as robotaxis it plans to start producing next year. Shares fell 1.8% on Friday. Tesla plans to appeal, according to published reports. The Austin, Texas-based company and its lawyers did not immediately respond to several requests for comment. The trial concerned an April 25, 2019 incident where George McGee drove his 2019 Model S at about 62 mph (100 kph) through an intersection into the victims' parked Chevrolet Tahoe as they were standing beside it on a shoulder. McGee had reached down to pick up a cellphone he dropped on his car's floorboard and allegedly received no alerts as he ran a stop sign and stop light before hitting the victims' SUV. "We have a driver who was acting less than perfectly, and yet the jury still found Tesla contributed to the crash," said Philip Koopman, a Carnegie Mellon University engineering professor and expert in autonomous technology. "The only way the jury could have possibly ruled against Tesla was by finding a defect with the Autopilot software. That's a big deal." Benavides Leon was allegedly thrown 75 feet to her death, while Angulo suffered serious injuries. "Tesla designed Autopilot only for controlled-access highways yet deliberately chose not to restrict drivers from using it elsewhere, alongside Elon Musk telling the world Autopilot drove better than humans," Brett Schreiber, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said in a statement. "Today's verdict represents justice for Naibel's tragic death and Dillon's lifelong injuries," he added. Last month, Tesla posted its biggest quarterly sales decline in more than a decade, and profit fell short of Wall Street forecasts.
