    In the car cameras......

    Sitting here watching the Indy 500. Following a couple of the wrecks, they replayed video from the in the car cameras.

    WOW!

    At 200 mph, things happen really fast!

    It's like "Hang on Helen. This could be interesting!"

    exciting conclusion with so many lead changes in the last 15 laps. Time to make some sawdust now.

    I used to work for the company that makes those cameras (and the RF transmission equipment)... neat bit of kit, and a lot of engineering goes into them to make them small, heat resistant, and vibration resistant. Not to mention it's in HD, and "outside" cameras have little plastic windows that roll up like a cassette tape when the current window gets dirty. My "claim to fame" (among others) on them would be the code controlling all of the stepper motors for positioning, cleaning, etc.
