I wasn't quite sure where to post this thread. Initially, I was going to put it over in the "Is there such thing as a side view dashcam?" thread which is currently featuring an interesting discussion about 360 degree four camera installations but that didn't seem quite right. This seemed like it deserved its own slot. Finally, I decided on a dedicated thread in the General Dash Cam discussion sub forum as what Sony is presenting here may portend the ultimate future of full 360º automotive camera (and sensor) coverage.
At the CES 2020 currently going on in Las Vegas Sony just introduced their first electric car concept prototype, the Vision S. It's packed with sensors and unique technology concepts, as one might expect but of particular interest to us dash cam aficionados, and the reason for this post are the "Oval Sensing" and "Safety Cocoon" concepts. Aside from all the safety features and potential autonomous driving features, the car may be giving us a glimpse of the ultimate automotive OEM 360º (interior and exterior) dash cam experience that could well become a standard feature (or option) in vehicles going forward. Interesting stuff! It's fascinating to see companies like Sony (and maybe Apple), whose expertise is in high tech consumer electronics, optics, microprocessors and software development flirting with the idea of entering the automotive industry. Such cars may never actually reach the market but many of the concepts likely will.

How's this for a 360º dash cam set-up?
