I really wanted the GoPro's to be able to overwrite older video automatically and keep recording.. unfortunately they state they have no plans to support that request. They have superior video quality and it can automatically start when the car is turned on. Unfortunately wants the disk space fills up, you would have to manually clear it out each time.

I was thinking of getting this before I got these 1s but other con on the GoPro is that it dose not have night vision so at night where there is low light or no lighting it is useless.
