I did some research about RAW video:
File sizes are huge, difficult to handle if you need to shot a lot
No real time playback in timeline
Great highlight recovery in post
Great shadow lift in post
Great dynamic range
So i started thinking:
The manufacturers could implement controls in camera to do the same thing you do in computer, like six rotate knobs in camera body, or adjustable menu itens in mirrorless cameras: shadow lift, highlight recovery, gamma, gain, pedestal, contrast. These adjusts need to be done in the RAW data from the sensor before debayering algorithm and before compression. This way you could do the grading inside camera in each take and compress the video to h264 or h265 10bit and in computer you just need to do small fine adjustments
So maybe we do not need new sensor technology, we just need better camera controls, same things we already have in premiere lumetri color, davinci resolve and photo softwares like lightroom and digital photo professional
20 fstops dynamic range sensor with low noise from apple:

The revolution in sensor dynamic range and low noise will come from smartphones, because it is selling much more than cameras, and because people who use smartphones do not have time, knowledge and sofisticated computers/softwares to do image grading with raw or log files, people who use smartphones just need a fast photo or video to post on social network just after the shot, also the light conditions are poor, lots of shadow/highlight situations and night situations, so the smartphones need to solve these needs with a sensor with great dynamic range and low noise, the revolution will come from smartphones... and maybe mirrorless cameras will be forced to evolve to keep competition...
Omnivision developed 1 inch sensor wit 110db dynamic range with low noise, so android smartphones can compete with apple sensor:
