I AM DISABLED, BUT I COULD NOT FIND A VEHICLE IN STOCK WITH ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES TO HELP ME DRIVE AND BE PROTECTED. SINCE THESE ARE BASICALLY SOFTWARE AND SOME INEXPENSIVE HARDWARE, I ASSUMED THAT THE FEATURES COULD BE UPGRADED MUCH LIKE COMPUTERS. I ASKED THE DEALER AND AUDI CUSTOMER SERVICE IF THEY COULD ADD THE FEATURES TO ME NEW CAR. THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE. LATER I DID FIND PARTS IN GERMANY, BUT THE DEALER WOULDN'T INSTALL THEM (I.E. BUY A NEW CAR AND LOOSE $5,000 OR MORE DOLLARS). I BELIEVE MODERN AUTOS SHOULD BE MADE EASILY UPGRADEABLE FOR SAY 3 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. THIS WOULD HELP PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF TO HAVE BETTER AND SAFER DRIVABILTY. BTW BOEING SAFETY FEATURE, MACS, IN THE 737MAX AIRPLANES THAT KILLED OVER 300 PEOPLE WERE ONLY INSTALLED AS AN ADDITIONAL OPTION AT COST. MANY OF THE AIRLINES DID NOT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND DID NOT ORDER THE FEATURE OR TRAIN ENOUGH, SO THE SAFETY FEATURE HAS TO BE INSTALLED AND THE PILOTS TRAINED TO USE MACS. PLEASE MAKE THESE CARS UPGRADABLE SO WE CAN GET FRONT CAMERAS, SIDE DETECTION, LANE DETECTION, CRASH DETECTION, BLIND SPOT DETECTION IN EVERY CAR. SAVE A FEW LIVES.. IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.
