Air conditioning
ABS
Traction Control
Stability Control
Power windows
Power steering (except required in heavy vehicles)
Power brakes (except required in heavy vehicles)
Power door locks
Stupid-wide tires & wheels

Block heater
Full-size spare tire
Audio beyond basic radio
Cargo mat
Start-stop system
Built-in 120 VAC inverter
I could eventually think of many more.

Tailgate warning systems that blare so loud in the cabin that "stupid" can't ignore it.
And a "[censored] is wrong with me anyhow" sign that lights on the rear trunk lid.

It's already happening. If you see a Mini, Porsche SUV, Lexus SUV, black pick-up truck - you know to exercise care.

CD player went the way of the 8 track and cassette player, my car doesn't even have one and I don't want it! I still own a few CDs and the only way I can play them is with a USB DVD drive plugged into my laptop!
It does have cooled seats which should be mandatory.

Sounds good to me. I can drive badly if I need to.
Here there'd be an awful lot of tough-to-beat competition for that one remaining Datsun, though
