That would be great for offroading (Edit: Assuming the cameras have their own little wiper blades).

An F35 cockpit works something like this as well.

As the owner of a Rover.. I have been fooled by a lot of Explorers into thinking I was seeing another brit on the road. Ford has been aping Rover's style for a few years

I would love to have this for RallyCross. Maybe add an automatic measurement system that tells you how close your tire came to a cone and replays all the cone fly-bys at the end of a run.

Does the camera have tearoffs or a squirter to keep it clean?
