V8 racers get in-car Linux safety system (ZDNet)

ZDNet Australia reports on a different Linux-based crash analysis application: video data collection in race cars. "For a trial run at Oran Park on the weekend, Opia Vision fitted each car with a camera linking back to a customised computer using Red Hat Linux. The computers measure 285 x 200 x 85 mm and use SOM (system on module) motherboards, essentially a full computer on a four-inch square board."
