Chevrolet will offer owners of its new 2015 Corvette Stingray a high-tech system that's something of a cross between a dash-cam and a flight data recorder.
The Performance Data Recorder captures high-definition video of the road in front of the car and can overlay differing levels of telemetry data depending on a user setting. The result is something akin to the footage sometimes shown on televised coverage of professional motorsports.

The video is captured at 720p level. That's the lower of two resolutions considered to be high-definition but still better than most dash cams found in cars today. The camera is mounted in the trim along the top of the windshield and records the driver's point of view through the windshield. Audio is captured through a microphone inside the car.
