The system uses a high-definition camera cleverly hidden in the trim of the windshield header to record video from the driver's perspective and a dedicated microphone in the cabin to capture the audio. According to a Chevy press release, a self-contained telemetry recorder uses a GPS receiver “hardwired into the Stingray's controller area network to access vehicle information.” An SD-card in the glove box records and transfers both video and vehicle data, recording up to 200 minutes of driving time.

The owner can access all of this information from the car's 8-inch touch screen or download it to a computer. Corvette product manager Harlan Charles describes the system as a “baby monitor for your car,” allowing apprehensive owners to see first-hand exactly happened to their cars after they turned over the keys.

The system was originally designed for driving enthusiasts who wanted to monitor their track driving, but Chevrolet soon realized that it had other, more practical applications. To illustrate the advantages of the system, Chevy created a short video. The feature is part of an options package that will only be available on all 2015 Corvettes, which are scheduled to arrive at dealerships in a few weeks.
