Heh, which opens up the possibility of fraud by backing into someone. Which then of course results in more drivers deciding to get a dash cam. So now we have excellent coverage of weird things happening in Russia because a decent fraction of the population has a dash cam.
Currently many cars have automatic braking (honda, subaru, bmw, tesla, etc) I'm not aware of any that actually record it for playback. Does anyone know otherwise?
That's where "presumed liability" enters the picture. Sans dashcam, the cop can gather other kinds of traditional evidence such as witness accounts, but otherwise the person in back is presumed to be at fault.

Soon every car will have a dash cam anyway, as part of the mechanism for preventing rear end collisions.

In Europe reversing car is (almost) always at fault in most countries.
Which is why they claim you're the one that ran into them. Hence the need for dash cams.
It is easy to prove otherwise. Not sure why the downvote. Calm down.
Sans dashcam how do you prove whether someone backed into a vehicle, or drove into the back of a vehicle?
I'm talking about slowish speeds here. Obviously if someone is rear ended at 50mph the culprit is obvious because no car can reverse that fast

Sure, but I was specifically asking the poster above me, because they said "It is easy to prove otherwise. Not sure why the downvote. Calm down."
