Automotive tech has changed a lot in 25 years, but our Sienna minivan back then was awful. It had engine design problems that led to huge sludge build up and gulping oil. The blue clouds of smoke were embarrassing. We measured oil consumption in quarts per mile.

Your head will explode with AI tech now for nearly every car made. It’s not FSD but it’s close. Most supported cars become full hands free on the motorway and also in gridlock. Adaptive cruise to halt ,brake hold and automatic resume takes 90% of the work out of gridlock and city traffic set the speed max to 5 over the limit and just let it do its thing. Same for long distance on interstates just set it 5 to 10 over and let it rip. It’s open source so you can edit out the driver monitoring if you know how to code or just wear sunglasses day time and polycarbonate yellow lenses at night it can’t see your eyes you can then watch Netflix o? the tablet the whole time. FSD is $5000 Thoreau is cheap by comparison.
