    Maybe…

    My brother bought a subaru, and then purchased a third party device that interfaced with the car’s sensors and made it mostly self-driving. It could handle navigating from his house in an area not quite fully urban, to the main roads, then to the highway, then to wherever his destination was without any input from him aside from the address. None of that was offered from subaru. I wouldn’t doubt something similar could be done with other manufacturer’s vehicles/sensor systems.

    Sometimes the car manufacturer just doesn’t want to implement something like that, while the capability exists.
