I have enough troubles with emails and phones. No prayer of being able to deal with these new gadgets. I went along with this new and improved stuff about as far as I care to go. Yet we all know that if I want to keep up with the grand kids that live in different states than I do. I will have to ride along a little further. 
Two LT70s, Nyle L200 kiln, 4 head Pinheiro planer, 30" double surface Cantek planer, Lucas dedicated slabber, Slabmizer, and enough rolling stock and chainsaws to keep it all running.

Just wait Yellow, it'll likely catch you off guard sometime when it auto-brakes for you. My little 2017 Civic just missed the cutoff for all the "helpers" and while there are a couple that seem like they'd be ok (heated steering wheels are nice!) most of the "helpers" my wife has on her 2020 Honda Passport get shut off immediately or can't be trusted. Her blind spot monitoring systems pick up walls on the highway (then it beeps if I start changing lanes when it thinks there's a car there), there is a "brake, Brake, BRAKE" notification that shows up if I meet oncoming traffic in a turn on an otherwise normal road, stuff like that. It also has the auto-shutoff that turns the vehicle off at any stoplight, that one gets turned off too.

I got an aftermarket seat cooler that is pretty sweet, though factory versions are way better. 

I'm very excited for the day that we decide we've gone too far and we can customize which of these fancy "helpers" we want and which we don't. I'll take heated and cooled seats, cameras, lane keeping assist (that I can turn off), heated steering wheel, heated mirrors, and a screen that doesn't control anything really, just show the cameras, I'd rather my HVAC and radio have real buttons. I'm not a fan of the auto-wipers or auto-headlights. And I certainly don't want my car looking at me to tell me to keep my eyes on the road.
