No need to wait for another two years, I already made an exact app you're talking about. it's not only a dash cam, but it's integrated with turn by turn navigation as well. maybe I can claim it to be revolutionary :) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dashmap/id1638360259
Cool app.. but why subscription? this should be a one time payment.
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…
The operative word here is "let", since any linux OS computer could do this. It's only been goggle's abomination on top of linux that has prevented it... Isn't it nice of the mulit-trillion dollar corporation to "let" you do things? Let's all just worship the mega-wealthy a little more...

So what are you implying here with the quotes on "speed traps"? There are very real speed traps on roads, and they endanger drivers in exchange for generating ticket revenue.
Wait, explain to me how a cop on the side of the road with a radar gun "endangers drivers"? If someone ahead of you slowing down before they get to a cop causes you danger, you were following unjustifiably close. There are lots of things that can happen on a highway to take a car from 80mph to 0mph in just a few feet (very heavy things to run into) without warning, and if you don't have enough distance to react to th…

One, it's insane to ask drivers to input data while driving. Two, these are not "speed traps", they are simply officers on the side of the road. These officers are doing a public service looking for cell phone users, and for aggressive speeders.

Why not a subscription given with each iOS version comes new APIs and deprecations requiring time and effort to fix?

> There are very real speed traps on roads, and they endanger drivers in exchange for generating ticket revenue. Not if you drive the speed limit or less. Google endangers drivers (especially other drivers) by implicitly encouraging rapid deceleration at one of these "traps".
If someone slowing ahead of you puts you in danger, you were following too close. The parent was talking about encouraging users to use their phone to report the speed traps is a cause of distracted driving, which it is, which is dangerous.

Presumably the device will do the recording with the screen turned off, so it will generate little heat internally. So I think placing most of the device behind something to shield it from sunlight should be enough to avoid heat issues. Though I agree with others here that a cheap specialized dashcam device is much better.
I’d want to use the screen for navigation and the camera for Dashcam at the same time

There are special phone cases/holders designed for that. I'm pretty sure Google will sell those too. Not to mention this might be a camera recording the driver-distraction and not the road. So it doesn't have to be in the sun. Or even for passengers in a driverless car
> this might be a camera recording the driver-distraction I'm not sure why you would want to use your phone to record yourself while driving to see if you're distracted.

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.
Why would they do that? Cars used to have slots that you could put your own radio in. Then manufacturers figured they make more if they sell you their own system for 2000€.

Hmmm.. Id say thats a cost of doing business on the app store? App stores should be doing a better job of making sure everything doesn’t require rework ever so often, but I don’t see why end customers have to pick up that tab. On a continued basis like in a subscription.
