Waymo recently announced[1] a World Model that does exactly this: using footage from a single-camera dashcam, it can predict/simulate multiple inputs that would have been sensed by a Waymo vehicle on the same travel path (i.e. multiple camera angles, Lidar cloud, etc). On top of this, the model can be prompted to customize the scenario (adding an elephants or a tornado were the example given)
