Dash Cams. The future?

[addo]

Are any of them able to be synced to the basic elements of car control, to show when you have foot on the brake, when you are indicating right or left, when you may be accelerating?

I'd like one with all of those elements, and a delete button that scrambles all data good as any ransomware (so if I'm in the wrong I can delete it).

I have used this one in two cars and this one in the Merc.

Both of them have G sensors and will display acceleration, braking and give you a good idea of how hard you are cornering.

Can easily format the SDcard from the menu on the device if you are 'in the wrong' or plod pulls you at a little over 70!

I have found that the internal microphone can just make out the sound of the indicators 'clicking' on most vehicles. None yet that I have seen have a direct brake light/switch interface or throttle position indicator.

I guess one could rig 'idiot' lights in the form of 4 small leds ( 2 indicators, one for brakes, one for headlights ) that could be in the field of view of either of the cameras as an added function.

In modern vehicles with full can busses it would be very simple to record all of that but if you buy a bluetooth interface you can use something like the 'torque' app to record all those perameters direct from the bus.
