Now here's a very useful addition to a car - the Roadscope PLUS developed by PLK Automative Sensor Technologies. It has four major functions - Digital Image BlackBox, Lane Departure Warning System, Stop and Go Alarming System, and Lane Keeping Guide.

So what exactly is the Roadscope PLUS? It's essentially a gloried black box for cars with a camera that resides behind the mirror. It provides an extra set of sensors to your car to detect all sorts of traffic conditions that can either prove who was at fault for an accident or help you prevent an accident from actually happening.

The Digital Image BlackBox is just that - a record keeping system that will tell you where your car was in the lane and how far you were from other cars. It's basically a data container.

The Lane Departure Warning system does exactly that - warns you when you have drifted out of a lane - If this works the way it's advertises- then this feature alone is worth the device's price.

Stop And Go Alarm system provides you notifications on the front car's movements and the Lane Keeping Guide helps keep you centered in your lane.

I can imagine some of these features being a bit annoying to an experienced driver but the Lane Departure Warning system and the BlackBox feature seems like an excellent addition to any car. Check out the Product Page for additional information. Via the Gadget Blog.
