Since these are portable units, I'd be curious to see how well the video camera deals with glare off the windshield or what happens during inclimate weather. I doubt it could recognize streetsigns during a severe downpour or snowstorm.

Innovative advancement, however, and certainly a cool, novel idea to incorporate into portables.
