Google's Personal Safety app will soon include a new feature called "Dashcam" on select Android devices, allowing users to record video and audio while driving in the event of an accident or unexpected situation. The feature can be launched through a new "Dashcam" shortcut in the app, and recordings can begin automatically when connected to a particular Bluetooth device. Videos are automatically deleted after three days unless saved, and the app says that the videos themselves are compressed, averaging "30 MB per minute," with a maximum recording length of 24 hours. It's unclear if this feature will be available on other phones with Google's Personal Safety or exclusive to Pixel phones.
