Cars, trucks and SUVs in the U.S. keep getting older. A study published Wednesday says U.S. vehicles hit a record average age of 12.6 years in 2024 as people hang on to their rides largely because new ones cost so much.
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.
Hmm… I wonder where the cutting edge currently is at this point? I had no idea they’d been experimenting with radar in automotive applications that far back!
