Wonder if they'll use the footage for streetview or AV training data.

That would be cool, but it seems like Google nowadays don't have departments collaborating with each other, how many chat apps do they have still?

Maybe Google Maps will next come with "Record your journey!" mode...

AFAIK, they have two text chat systems:

- The Android SMS/RCS client

- Google Chat, accessible through both Gmail and a dedicated app

and one video chat system (Google Meet). In the past few years, they've consolidated their communications products.

Seems like it would be pretty heavy data usage pushing all that video up over the mobile network.

Pixels have built in "AI" engines or whatever. Maybe they do preprocessing, only store relevant stuff, and then upload when you get back on wifi.
