Abstract

An in-vehicle recording system of a vehicle includes a detector including at least a front camera; an electronic control unit configured to control a rudder angle to keep the vehicle within a traveling lane based on information on at least images in front of the vehicle detected by the front camera; a control area network; a gateway device connected to the control area network; a data recording electronic control unit configured to sequentially record a status data that includes at least images transferred through the control area network and the gateway device, and when an event occurs, record on a nonvolatile memory the status data relating to the event that occurs, among the status data over a predetermined time before and after occurrence of the event.

Claims (17)

1. An in-vehicle recording system of a vehicle, comprising:

a detector including at least a front camera;
