Gone are the days when if someone hit your car they would leave you a note (at least, a lot of people won’t do this any longer). TruScene aims to keep your insurance rates low by monitoring your car. You attach the device to your rearview mirror, and it films events from the front. It only has a 30 second buffer, but…

If a sudden jolt or bump is detected by the device, then it saves those 30 seconds into its internal memory, giving you a view of the incident, and the moments preceding it. [Source: Oh! Gizmo]

We Say: Good, but most of my dings are on the side… and what about the rear of the car? Not sure just how useful this really is because of the coverage holes.

About RealTechNews
When blogs became “hot,” we looked at the category and found a gap. Tech blogs were furiously covering gadgets and gizmos and new products from Asia, and the mainstream tech sites were diligently doing product reviews and news items, but no one was really sitting in the middle and bringing the best of both worlds to one place. Enter RealTechNews (RTN). Our mission is simple: We aim to bridge the gap between the informal and mostly amateur-run tech blogs and the polished but often slow and advertiser-supported tech portals.
