Smart dash cams? This sounds like an opportunity to buy a couple dupes of my current dash cam before they enshittify the whole market segment.

I made the comment to my passenger a year ago that the image quality of most current dashcams is trash but didn’t full understand it yet. It makes sense now. They’re holding back the good quality, (phone/action cam quality picture) until they can counterbalance it with some bad features. A little bite of poison on a big bite of food is how you get the rats to eat out of the trap. I expect the next gen will be fully connected to he police department at all times.
