I got to thinking about cameras the other day when I was out on RT-495 during a rain storm. It was real overcast and about 7:30 AM and it was really coming down..

Anyways, a lot of people just didn't want to use their lights. So, while watching my driver's side mirror, I noticed that dark colored cars & PUs came out of nowhere, slowly appearing like ghosts, out of the rain very close behind me.

Whereas the cars with that had running or headlights on were very easy to see, even 100 yards back.

That got me thinking that a camera would have be pretty dang good to be able to
show me those rain-sheath vehicles. It would need to be good in low-light and have hi-res.
