Google is testing dashcam video in the UK , and it only uses video from two specific companies.

Google collects silent video from dashcams from “trusted third -party companies” that use these cameras for daily operations.

Dashcam video can inform Google about specific changes in certain areas so it can update Google Maps and Street View information accordingly.

The privacy protections built into this new feature are far more important.
