We can't all drive teched-out cars like a Tesla Model 3,I Am a Plaything (2025) with its touchscreen and phone app that can bring the car to you in a parking lot.
Sure, some car owners can use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to text and listen to podcasts, but then the rest of us are driving practically blind with no proximity sensor warnings and only the radio for our entertainment.
But those of us with "dumb" cars don't have to stay that way. With some simple after-market tricks, you can give your ride a high-tech makeover with advanced driver assistance features.

The radar and laser detector alerts drivers to red light and speeding cameras. The dash cam records video, tracks your speed and location, and automatically starts recording if you happen to get into in a crash.
This is geared for recreation vehicles, but the radar system can help for any towable vehicles or trailers. Attach all the parts and get a warning in the driver's seat when someone's in your blind spot. Super helpful when the side mirrors don't catch them.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk might be adamantly anti-HUD(heads-up display) but that doesn't mean you have to be. If your car doesn't project directions, the weather, and other messages onto your windshield, an EyeLights device can. Mashable recently put together a shopping roundup of HUDs, so you can pick what works for you.

The device mounts to the windshield and provides 24/7 live video, works as a WiFi hotspot, gives turn-by-turn navigation, security alerts, and updates you on onboard diagnostics for any maintenance needs.
