Here are four of our favourite recent car gadgets... 1. Dash Cam 65, Garmin It's probably faster to list the things this tiny dashboard camera doesn't do. Smaller than a pack of playing cards, this super-smart little beauty does so much more than saving footage on impact, it also warns you about upcoming speed cameras, tells you when you veer out of your lane, tells you when there's a risk of forward collision, flags up red lights you might not have noticed and even compressed footage of your journey into scenic highlights you can wirelessly sync to your phone. Oh, and it's all voice activated too! 2. Zerotouch Car Phone Holider, Logitech Take Alexa on the road. This smartphone dock for your car automatically loads up Amazon's much-loved voice assistant when you snap your handset into place.

TP-Link M7350 4G Mobile Router Turn your car into a Wi-Fi hotspot.
