Waylens Camera Brings Social Integration to World of Onboard Video Capture Devices

The rise of GoPro over the past few years is nothing to scoff at.  Going from “those funny little cameras that litter our sand traps” as one Mazda Raceway security guard once told me, to the must-have camera for those in the action sports world and those who simply wish they were, the cameras have the ability to capture studio-grade quality film at a relatively low entry price.  But even with all of their strengths, the cameras still lack seamless social media integration and the ability to overlay data in a motorsport setting, leaving a void in the hearts of many.

With their new device (and accompanying Kickstarter), camera maker Waylens looks to excel where GoPro and other small cameras fall short.  Combining 1080p video capture quality found on some small capture devices, and the data overlay that has made Harry’s Lap Timer the go-to for motorsport data collection, Waylays hopes that their new camera will foster an entirely new community.  And with the ability to upload captures directly from your smartphone shortly after capture, it just may be a great new way to keep tabs on what your friends are up to.  For those wondering what happens when the camera is inevitably used to capture and upload something highly illegal, it’s a completely legitimate question.  In fact, even their promo video shows questionable activity.  Let’s hope they’ve got that all figured out.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
