Comment on Tell HN: We built a solar-charging wireless backup camera for your carparent

Aside from power, we do use the OBD port to detect things like reverse and speed (to stop the video automatically when you hit 10mph).

In general we want to integrate our products into the car and the driving experience as much as possible.

That choice cost you three pre-sales. I have Automatic using the port, as do many people I know with cash to spend on expensive car gadgets and older cars to gadgetize.

I think you understand why Automatic, useful over 10 mph, needs to be more integrated into the driving experience than you do.
