If you live in an area with a high probability of getting your car stolen, you better protect your investment properly and install a gnss tracker, not just it is more reliable, accurate, and use way less data on your cellular plan, but also you can hide it and conceal it in a location (like near the engine) that you have a better chance to find your car before the tracker is found, unlike a dashcam, that will obviously consume more data, but also the first thing will be thrown out of the window after the successful robbery.
Yeah, you could work around this with anti-tamper APIs and trip-wires and tech solutions to secure your phone.
But then you're playing an arms-race game against inventive thieves with jammers and portable Faraday cages.
Another solution is legal. Make a dashcam phone a "Protected Insurance Entity" or some shit. Maybe have it always streaming as part of some Citizens on Patrol Star Watcher campaign. Bump the punishment to federal level insurance fraud.
Jesus, this fucking future.
Obviously, we will save lives, and that is great. It just takes one drunk driver and one teddy bear falling from the sky.
I imagined a future hopping between cyber corps if you have that power.
