Definitely cloud,.wouldn't make sense if it didn't. I find it interesting that they backporting a lot of this ADAS to the original S1 Pro, but I suppose it makes sense because it was the guinea pig model for a few things
Ok will have a look
The IMX678 is a big sensor, which needs a big lens, which needs a big rear camera...
Won't have the answers until it's properly announced so won't know for sure. Either way, it's not going to work nowhere near as reliably as what inbuilt vehicle systems do, but if they can get it working some of the time then its a stop gap of sorts for people who don't have newer vehicles.
Too bad people don't understand that not having ADAS is a good thing 😀
The positive is that at least dashcam doesn't have the in vehicle integration to throw you into other lanes lol like you say proper ADAS can do. Don't get me started on sunrise and sunset if I'm into a narrow slip lane my car likes to throw me into the other lane lol
So far, I've not found any ADAS features on a dashcam to be useful, but the blind spot monitoring is a function that would be useful, if it was 100% accurate. The problem is that people who use it will start to trust it, so if it is not 100% reliable, it could be worse than not useful! If they don't trust it, then they won't use it, so it will be another pointless ADAS feature. BSoD?
I doubt it would be accurate for blind spot detection unfortunately, nothing like what is in car natively.So far, I've not found any ADAS features on a dashcam to be useful, but the blind spot monitoring is a function that would be useful, if it was 100% accurate.

I assume the DMS systems do actually reduce accidents, although I notice that the Vantrue brochure image for DMS shows a family wide awake and posing for the camera while driving along a sandy beach, wearing sunglasses. DMS systems tend not to work if you wear sunglasses because they can't see if your eyes are open or closed! Whoever tests this feature is going to have to copy the brochure and wear sunglasses...
I hope that nobody drives when they are asleep, but reality is that many people do once or twice in their lives, and some people have a genuine problem with falling asleep, which it is not their fault. It only needs to work once to save lives, but it does need to work, and a little beeping isn't necessarily going to solve the problem, which is why these systems should be built into the vehicle, so that the vehicle can bring itself to a safe stop if necessary.
With the AI processors built into recent Novatek SoCs, it should be fairly easy for them to track cars approaching from behind, and warn you when one is passing. The problem will be if someone sits beside you, in your blind spot for an extended time, a rear facing camera may find it hard to detect them, especially if they come in from a slip road and stay in the camera's blind spot all the way. My car has a rear window that is curved enough for a fisheye lens to see that car in the blindspot; the other car I have here has a pretty flat rear window, I don't see how the camera could see a vehicle in the blind spot, it could only watch vehicles entering it, which would be helpful, but also dangerous if you rely on it.
My point exactly. Better to depend on the inbuilt blind spot detection like my vehicle has, rather than limited abilities dashcams have. That may change in future but I don't think that future is here yet
I think the future will be that all vehicles will leave the factory with a blind spot warning system, at least in the developed world, so there will be no need for the feature in aftermarket dashcams. We have laws requiring mirrors, which need to be updated for electronic mirrors; blind spot coverage on new vehicles could easily become mandatory, since it can clearly save lives.
It already has here in Australia at least and a few other countries I know of. These are mandatory under design regulations. It will just become the norm
I assume most of the factory fitted blind spot systems use radar, as in:
Well I never use blind spot by itself I actually use my side mirrors to check that there's no one coming as well. That situation you speak of is pretty pretty rare, so someone would have to not be checking their rearview mirrors and not checking their side mirrors.
70mai T800 has been announced which has the RC41 unit that uses the IMX678. From photos in the post here it doesn't look too much bigger than what may be mounted for existing rear RC-numbered sensors: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threa...ior-1080p-three-channel-hdr.52864/post-640473
