Amazon’s new security camera for cars unveiled.
Washington:
Amazon’s new car security camera unveiled on Thursday will allow motorists concerned about a police stop to record the incident by saying, “Alexa, I’m getting pulled over.”
The new $ 200 Ring Car Cam will automatically begin recording on voice command, store footage securely, and notify a family member of the traffic stop.
Ring’s device, Amazon’s home security unit, also includes sensors to monitor bumps and attempted break-ins and will call for help in the event of an accident.
Unveiled at an Amazon product event, the device comes as the U.S. tech giant faces criticism for sharing home camera surveillance footage with law enforcement.
The release was made amid heightened tensions over police conduct following George Floyd’s death at the hands of police in Minneapolis earlier this year, which has drawn attention to other cases of abuse of law enforcement and racial prejudice.
