We are living in an age of unprecedented wealth, with millions entering the middle class every year. Homo sapiens live longer lifespans than ever before, with better nutrition, and better medicine than ever in our history. This is also the most peaceful time in our history, with record lows in crime and wars. The developing world is surging in wealth and in the west we have more opportunity and access to information than ever.

I've borrowed a top spec Audi A6 from 2004 for a bit last year and that had adaptive cruise control as well. Honestly if not for the infotainment GUI, which felt very "spy kids", it would have passed for a ~2020 car as well feature wise.
