That is assuming that the driver is also responsible for making sure recording equipment is functioning and on at all times, IN ADDITION TO paying attention to the road/driving. I find that unsafe. Personally, I would imagine that the driver simply drives and an engineer of some sort is monitoring the equipment to make sure that nothing breaks and that if something does break, that it is fixed or that the recoding equipment is powered down properly.
