Heck my M37, and several other types of cars, just about drive themselves now. If I'm not paying attention it will stop for me preventing a collision, I can hop on the interstate in ATL, set the cruise at 79 and never touch the gas or the brake until I want to exit the interstate in Ft. Myers and if I drift over into the next lane it beeps and hits the opposite side brakes bringing the car back into my lane. All these toys are part of a $3,000 Technology Package.

At this point, the car is probably one ecm, a handful of sensors and an interface into an electric rack and pinion from being able to drive itself. That might be a bit of an exaggeration but not by much.
