Default c7 Keeping it simple

It's hard to keep track of all the gizmos on other cars:
adaptive cruise controls
Lane departure
Lane centering
Lane centering while going on curves
Rear radar
Lane warning
etc
etc.

But now the Infinity Q50 has 2 car ahead predictive brake mitigation where the radar apparantly goes under the car ahead.

The c7 has none of these. Plus everyone is exited about a back up camera which seems to pale in comparison with all the above.

I'm guessing GM is trying to keep the C7 a "drivers" car. But I'm guessing this is not going to last long.

Anyone have any prediction if any of this stuff will be added to 15/16 MY?

Adaptive cruise control. Other manufactures of European sports car already have this feature and I have seen a demonstration, it is super.

I have it on my DD and love it. Granted, I don't often use the cruise control when driving the Corvette but when I do use it the adaptive feature would be great.
