At 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

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

Tesla does it and clearly it’s not all that useful in reality.

		Thats because Tesla is useless, not because the data isn't valuable. Tesla has explicitly ruled out using "HD maps" for autonomous vehicles. This means that all the data they have is going to not building maps, but building scenarios for testing its self driving models. If you look at Wayve, they are building nerf maps to allow them to create scenarios for edge cases. all of that comes from the gathered data. If you want to build visual navigation systems, you need lots of fresh data from all over. Seeding it with the data that naintic has is useful, but a lot of that data is out of date so not that useful anymore.

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.
