The feature will be easily accessible through a dedicated 'Dashcam' shortcut on the home page, allowing users to continue using their phone's navigation features.

Additionally, the feature is designed to be automatic and can be triggered when connected to specific Bluetooth devices, with recordings automatically deleted after three days unless saved manually. This news comes in the wake of Google's release of a Kenny G inspired ringtone for Pixel phones.
