Tesla's Autopilot feature uses a battery of cameras to monitor other cars on the road, and a contingent of Tesla owners have been wondering why their cars can't use this hardware to also function like a dashcam. Well, according to a tweet earlier this week from CEO Elon Musk, that functionality is coming, and soon.

Dashcams are aftermarket pieces of hardware that mount on a vehicle's windshield or dash to record activity in front of (and sometimes behind, if you've got a fancy unit) the vehicle. The downside is that they can clutter up your car's interior, and it's yet another piece of equipment to worry about. It's easy to see why Tesla owners would want a user-enabled dashcam feature built in.
