When I saw my first backup camera in a friend's car, years ago, I was stunned. I assumed she was wealthy (she wasn't) and thought that kind of feature was limited only to those with significant amounts of cash. Fast-forward several years, and backup cameras are nearly a standard feature. Even *I* have one, now. Once in a while, I force myself to back up the car using only mirrors, for fear that I will simply forget that hard-earned skill. (But, not-so-secretly, I prefer the camera.) What other new features are going to be standard soon?

This puts the systems that automakers have spent millions on out of sight and out of mind. When it comes to technology, why are cars so far behind smartphones and laptops? "</li>
