alt Hacker NewsAt what point will we have people transmit their car dash cams along with GPS information in order to generate more data? I’m actually surprised this hasn’t happened yet with self driving car manufacturers needing more and more data

Tesla does it and clearly it’s not all that useful in reality.
This.... absolutely already happens. It's trivial and cheap to purchase the three meter, three second resolution data of millions of vehicles.
Mobileye builds their maps like this
Great question. A "Ring Dashcam" with a mobile connection would win customers based on name recognition alone.
Not a lot of big companies in the dashcam market, there are a lot of alphabet companies and some small players like Vantrue. The only company with broader recognition is Garmin and it feels like a weird side gig for them.

Not obvious if they're successfully selling any of their collected data yet, but they must at least have plans to try.
