I'll start off.

I was just wondering what the name of those armored vehicles that are used during like riots & stuff they have like 3 wheels on each side? the reason i asked is because my man is writing a story and he is going to have those things in it but we can't think of what they are called.

Yikes. There are all kinds of six-wheeled military/police vehicles. But I'm not good on them anyway.

Apparently, Alibaba sells EVERYTHING. Here's a page of riot control vehicles that might help.

Why do cars manufactured in the U.S. not have mandatory dash cameras? Seems like they would sure help solve a number of issues, like pedestrian fatalities, fault at accident sites, etc. I envied the people in Russia who were able to film that meteorite with their dash cams.

...unsure, but I do find it an apt reflection on the US Auto Industry that they have backup cameras, but nothing that looks ahead...

Actually...I think one of the auto-makers has some system on-board that brakes if you fail to brake. Don't recall the maker nor make...happened to glance up at the TV when a commercial was on...Suburu, my guess, right or wrong I don't know. Maybe there is more than one manufacturer with this capability. Seats recline though...so we need never leave the car...sounds like a story. Imagine if all the car/truck door locks malfunctioned simultaneously, you got the neighbor there in the other lane, snoozing away cause his seat reclines? Some guy in a six-door Mercedes runs him over cause he wants to be the only one?

I think there are a few different manufacturers of 6x6 (six wheel drive) armoured vehicles. He could google 6x6 armored vehicles and choose a model he likes

...yeah Walt, they have collision sensors now-but can't remember if it uses a camera or just motion detection tech...

I'm glad they don't have dash cameras. I guarantee you Big Brother would be jacked into that system faster than you can say George Orwell........

Besides it would take away any plausible deniability I might have for "spirited" driving in the bitc*n' Camaro
