My dashcam was priced like a new iPhone but the recording quality is superb, licence plates of a car 10m away is clearly readable.
Do tell!
I believe it's called Aviline DVR-B

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.
Subscriptions for apps are like paying the service fee to a skilled mechanic for your car's maintenance and upgrades. The developer acts as the mechanic, using the subscription revenue to continually improve the app's performance, security, and features. Just as the mechanic ensures your car runs smoothly and can add better features (tinted windows, reverse camera etc), the developer can deliver regular updates, repl…
That's a lot of fluff for meaning to say that subscriptions earn more than one-time purchase fees.

Why are cars made by Toyota and Ford any different? A lot of different technical decisions have been made by different people along the way.
Both are producing same chips, maybe slightly different serial number. Perhaps better comparison would be why Chinese Tesla’s are better than American ones.
No, Samsung's processes and TSMC's processes are not the same. They were not making the same chip; they each were making chips based on the same input design, that had been targeted to two different processes.

#225I wonder what captcha-like mechanism they'll use for annotating this new dataset for their self-driving cars. Gamifying the videos post-drive with AR?
It's useless for this. Interesting things don't happen often enough and it's too blurry on bumpy roads.

#226"Let us wait until we figure out how to monetize the data we'll collect from giving away this 'feature'."
Google doesn't give away Pixel phones, they sell them.

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.
No they're not. They're too busy staring through the scope of their LIDAR gun to know what's actually going on on the freeway.
I personally have seen them staring through regular binoculars lately more often than a radar gun. I assume they are looking for people holding cell phones. This is in Northern California.
Also, being seen on the freeway at all helps the crazies in their dodge chargers slow donw a little. If they know the cops are out, they'll keep it to 95 instead of 105.

#228Not 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 prefer to use my $25 dashcam on my car (I did my research to find a pretty decent one). This dashcams always recording and mounted.

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
I love apps like this. There’s a world full of high quality software out there that is just waiting to be discovered.
Thanks for sharing.

Once per maintenance change, not once per car you buy
