As I understand it, only one camera is used in video mode. So two successive frames from the video footage is used to make a 3d image by the CHA-CHA method. This is possible because the one camera is moving sideways in the car.

This 3d image is not made using two cameras ( which are side by side ) and the two video files are put into a video editor and from that a 3d still or 3d video image is produced.

You are correct, one camera--preferably a 4K camera that does video. The higher the resolution, and the brighter the day (increases the shutter speed),  you select two frames next two each other. The faster the car is going, the more depth you will have in the image. If the speed is too great, you will get miniaturization of the objects in the 3D image as you can see in my 3D images. It's fun to try, but you have to have a video editing program that allows you to select frames and save them as jpgs. Then you use Stereomaker to align them and create an MPO file for digital viewing or SBS for free viewing.
