I was car shopping this weekend and was blown away by the tech features that are available in even moderately priced cars. Adaptive cruise with lane assist, blind spot monitoring, backup cameras, navigation and even reverse automatic breaking. Even base models had quiet smooth rides.

When I bought my last new car 10 years ago, this was only the stuff of luxury brands. So that got me to thinking, what luxury commodities will become affordable in the next 10 years?

I'm all for driver assistance which reduces the need to multitask - like automatic wipers, etc - as well as speed limiters (I use mine a lot, especially on motorways) but automatically adjusting limiters does make me question whether that is a step too far.

Like, you should be driving while considering both the road conditions and the legal limit. If you aren't paying enough attention to see when the limit changes, then you're not doing a large part of the task.
