  I thought it would make sense, since it is quite rich data. From what i understand about AR, it is analyzing its field of view which is also what CV will do.. right?
  
   This Comma.ai is new to me, is it similar to what Andy Rubin is doing with dash cams? Or at least plans to do with them? Giving them out for free with state of the art CV to build a network of connected dash cam data, real time.

Answers.Text: @James Yeah, something like that. Comma.ai's app records your driving videos. You need to install the cam on your windshield, and it keeps recording, and that footage is used in their self-driving cars example.
