I got a new 2018, and I have more technology into the car than I need. I had to take a class on how to use it. It pretty well does everything, except coffee.

Almost all of it (if not all - I'm still learning) is voice activated... "call Fred Griffin  on his mobile phone", "take me to the nearest Starbucks", "what's the weather forecast for today", "text message Fred Griffin the following message""

Scary....

I'm reasonably gadget free. I have blue tooth in the car to be hands-free (comes with the car) and I have one of those Garmin nuvi's when I need to pull out GPS (after-market wiring). No cameras, no fuzz busters, etc. Not a gadget or app type of girl.

Car does come with keyless entry/ignition, memory seats, back-up camera, but I don't consider them dashboard "goodies."

My car comes with a 360 degree camera, backup camera with lines that move with the wheel, auto lights, auto high beams, lane keep assist (when coupled with adaptive cruise control it practically drives itself).  Has it's own navigation system, a live person I can call to plot a destination when I'm driving and works with Pandora.

As long as it starts and stops before hitting something it is fine and it only has the basics.

As to GPS, how would you see the FSBO if you didn't get lost!
