It'll probably be an in-memory circular buffer of the last n minutes, and then you get to save it if anything happens
Circular buffer still worn out NAND flash

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.

Why not a subscription given with each iOS version comes new APIs and deprecations requiring time and effort to fix?
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.
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…
Google is in no way interested in traffic safety and that's the reason I despise them for playing around in this field. For example, they encourage active use of the phone while driving by asking you to report and confirm/deny reports of "speed traps". It's similar to Tesla tinkering with self driving and using everyone around us as beta testers.
Wonder if they'll use the footage for streetview or AV training data.
That would be cool, but it seems like Google nowadays don't have departments collaborating with each other, how many chat apps do they have still? Maybe Google Maps will next come with "Record your journey!" mode...
- The Android SMS/RCS client
- Google Chat, accessible through both Gmail and a dedicated app
and one video chat system (Google Meet). In the past few years, they've consolidated their communications products.

They're not talking about multitools. These sort of things are what they mean: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=zombie+knife&iax=images&ia=images
Oh, yikes, fixed-blades and things as long as shortish machetes? OK, yeah, people don't usually carry those here. Folding pocket knives in the 3"-6" range are common, but not fixed or very-long blades.

This means the original "tape a knife to the dashcam" gag would be illegal. For car self-defence purposes you're better off with a tyre iron, "breaker bar", socket extender or something else that's a plausible car tool that you just happen to grab.
Hm, let's see: Do I want to wear out the flash memory in an $800 phone, or get a $150 dash cam? This comment applies to Android phones that wouldn't let this thing write to a micro-SD card, of course.

And why only Sony have 3.5mm headphone jack now? I guess Apple did not force us right?

Reversing cameras don't increase safety on my cars, because I still turn my head and use the mirrors. Old habits die hard.
You would still have a major blind spot if a child or small animal is directly behind your car. The NHTSA estimated it would save over 70 lives per year (an underestimate), which is invaluable considering the small cost.
