this is really fascinating stuff.
regarding the ethical question... that's a good one. drivers are used to having little to no privacy when it comes to personal space, so i'd be surprised if any of them got arsey about it. and you'd like to think that, if they were using the data on screen and in the event of something happening, they wouldn't stay with that camera view in the same way they don't tend to stick with the onboard.
how cool would it be to have heart rate data on a replay of a wheel to wheel outbreaking battle??
