Automobile data recorder based on optical driving chip and automobile

The utility model relates to an automobile data recorder based on an optical driving chip and an automobile. The automobile data recorder comprises a shell, a photosensitive element, a processing unit and a communication module, wherein the photosensitive element, the processing unit and the communication module are arranged in the shell; the photosensitive element comprises an optical lens and a light driving chip, the optical lens and the light driving chip are oppositely arranged, and the optical lens irradiates collected light of an environment object on the light driving chip; the optical driving chip is connected to the processing unit; and the communication module is connected to the processing unit. And after the automobile data recorder is stopped and powered off, only driving energy needs to be provided for the processing unit, and extra electric energy does not need to be provided for the light driving chip, so that the consumption of electric quantity is greatly reduced, and the endurance time is
