Saw this yesterday hopefully Lexus will catch on and decide to put these in vehicles for a valet mode. I personally don't trust valet but it would be a step in the right direction.

Yes I never let anyone drive my car to begin with. Every time I see valet parking I'll pass and park somewhere else. I'd rather walk more than having my car messed up.

I own a dash cam myself, and I don't want them installed.
Here's a few reasons:
If all cars start having them, police will demand the video every time they stop you. If the video exonerates you, the video will of course 'disappear'. Even if they will need a warrant to obtain it, many won't know this and it will be a point where an escalation of force will take place, and in that case the video WILL be lost.
Video camera tech moves quickly, I'd like to be able to easily upgrade the camera.
The option on the car will probably cost way more than the most expensive dash cams.
I'd rather it just be a custom option that gets added.

Why on earth would you give a new Corvette to a valet? Just asking for this...

The way the video was actually posted, it did not actually show the valet getting in the car, starting the engine, and driving. If the valet had not gotten out and looked at the front of the car, the camera probably could not have determined who was driving....only what was in front of the car, and how fast it was going. In fact, there is still no absolute proof that this particular valet was driving, though I agree that the chances were near 100%....enough, I guess, for his company to determine he was at fault and be fired. Still, there was a small chance that someone else could have walked front of the car....although we can presume that the car's owner remembered who he handed the keys to she he walked away.

Some places convert to "valet only" for special events, which I find particularly infuriating, but I still don't give in. Like you, I'd rather walk...get a health benefit too, so it's a win-win.
If they want to demo a Lexus, let them go to the dealer.

And in any event...look at that big, empty, open garage. He chose to valet park a Corvette, he gets what he deserves.
