TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Army will not fit armored vehicles with dash cams because it says they will not prevent accidents, reports said Tuesday.

The issue came up after several accidents with armored vehicles during the Han Kuang 41 war games, per CNA. Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Lo Mei-ling (羅美玲) asked the military whether it was planning to install dash cams to help determine responsibility for accidents.

However, the Army said it had decided against the cameras because they do not increase road safety for military vehicles. Their use was only practical to observe conditions after an accident, so there was no need to equip armored vehicles with dash cams, the military said.

Improved training was the way to avoid the troops becoming involved in road accidents, according to the Army. Dash cam systems were likely to interfere with the vehicles’ original electronic, fire prevention, and wiring equipment. The cameras would also suffer damage during military operations featuring rough rides, explosions, and dust, the Army said.

Another problem to consider was the possibility of the dash cams being hacked by enemy forces. As a result, the Army decided to improve training with driving simulators and to emphasize road reconnaissance and traffic management to prevent accidents.
