I think you'll find dashcams have a removable CF card that can be replaced. Secondly dashcams don't routinely write to flash. They require a trigger such as a user input or collision detection to write the last few minutes to flash from RAM.
There will possibly be use-cases where a dashcam records continuously for extended periods but they are very unlikely to use a commodity CF card.
