Also, because the camera is pointed at the dash/console and auto-exposing to make it medium grey, the world outside the car is often far too bright. On the power stage the whole windshield regularly turns pure white, and it's not pointed at snow.
After these years, you'd think they could mount a small camera in a car correctly. I'm just an amateur photographer and I can see everything wrong in seconds, they're supposed to be a professional video crew.
