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?

    It would be a shame if someone unlocked them without the manufacturer’s approval.

      Likely it’ll happen. But it would also probably void warranties and such

        Used cars rarely have warranties anyways, so there’s no reason not to root the car.

        Probably depends on where you are, I think it wouldn’t fly in EU unless they can prove that you made your car less secure by that.
