Because it’s not a car rental company, it was a free loaner from a dealership / workshop. The article plays fast and loose with facts (like the hidden camera) when the thing is the size of your head and right where the rearview mirror is.
I doubt that’s the actual camera in question too. That’s likely just a stock photo.
When I posted about this same thing yesterday, it took a while to find a half decent article about it. DuckDuckGo seemed to bury them. IMO the Daily Dot did a much better job representing it in retrospect (and it’s a name I recognize at least) but the lion’s share of apparent journalism here seems to have been done by the anonymous Twitter account that compiled the clip and… Ugh… AI generated opinion about the camera. Some sources used the video with more skepticism than others.
I guess techspot is not one of them.
I also see a heck of a lot of Techspot articles posted here, a name I’ve never heard of anywhere else in the wild.
There’s a link to a video by the person showing the actual camera. It’s bigger than the stock picture in the article.
