There are anecdotes if minor crashes there the other person threatens the person with the dash cam to hand over footage. Good luck with getting stabbed.
Fine, I'll tape a knife to the dashcam in case of emergency. (this is a joke, HN)

Samsung's foundries have struggled for the past few years to achieve their targets, whereas TSMC has continued improving at their projected rates. TSMC's process is now significantly ahead of Samsung's, such that the same designs are better on TSMC. These improvements are along the lines of fewer defects, higher switching speeds, less leakage, etc. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 was made on Samsung's fabs. The 8+ Gen 1 is th…
It's not even a recent thing. Way back when Apple used both TSMC and Samsung foundries for their A9 SoC's, the Samsung ones were measured to perform worse than the TSMC ones. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/10/samsung-vs-tsmc-comp... It's just the gap has become more noticeable in recent years. (Notably with things like the Snapdragon 888 handwarmer).
If I could turn it into a full time dashcam I could reuse my still-working old phone, I wouldn’t have to dispose of it and save money.

Dashcams should 100% be required in every car. Too many accidents are a he-said-she-said situation, sometimes without any impartial witnesses.
I read that you get a nontrivial discount on your car insurance in Russia if you have a dashcam. So basically everyone there has one, which is why it seems like all the dashcam videos on the internet take place in Russia. I think that sort of system makes sense. We shouldn't require dashcam, but any policy which reduces expensive he-said-she-said litigation in our society should be encouraged. I suspect we'd find a p…
>I suspect we'd find a pleasant second-order benefit as well: humans might simply drive better if they know they're being recorded.

Not sure about negative comments here. You dont like it, dont use the feature! Its not like Google is forcing you to use this. I bet people will celebrate this feature when Apple rolls around implementing it two years from now. I for one, look forward to using this feature on my Pixel as I live in a city where drivers are very aggressive and in general have a disregard for following the rules. I have been in an accid…
I've gotten in the habit of recording my rides since then. Was using Droid Dashcam, but it make my Pixel feel slow/hot/buggy. Very keen to see a built-in version of the same functionality.
Wonder if they'll use the footage for streetview or AV training data.

Nothing in the settings shows any way to upload the videos to the cloud.
There's a good chance that it'll save to a folder which is synced with Google Drive.

I'd prefer cars just add standardized mount points with power and maybe data lines. Then I could install different cheap products I selected, or none at all.
Remember when cars have standardized ashtrays?
Why don't cars come with these by default yet? I have two backup cameras on a 7 year old entry level Honda but no integrated dashcam.
This is one of my larger personal pet peeves and hills I prefer to die on for no particular reason. I recently purchased a new car, and it has 23 cameras. 23. I can literally get a 360 degree view of my car on the display, and also directly tap into the rear/front/side cams. Why the @#$@# is there no port for an NVR, or a built-in NVR at least? Why do I need to deal with running wires through a brand new car, and sti…
