Does anybody know if they have safety features such as adaptive cruise control and rear view braking to name a few. I know with the Porsche they just started bringing that into the 911. Also do they have the 360° camera for when you're parking where it gives you a Birdseye view.

It does come with cross traffic and Lange change assist but I think they are 2LT options. Oddly adaptive cruise s a missing feature that I’m sure will show up later along with super cruise.

I have had adaptive cruise control on a couple of cars now, and I can't say that it is worth the expense. While it is cool technology, you can find your self slowly slowing down as you approach a slower car and matching it's speed. Then going WTF am I doing at 50 mph . Regular cruise control works just fine, I think.

I've had it on a couple of rental cars. On a Subaru Outback, it worked pretty well in most situations. On a Buick it was garbage.

Adaptive cruise control and automated braking have been shown to result in higher levels of distracted driving. So it trains bad driving habits. Not exactly the target market for a drivers car like the Corvette. Maybe for experienced driver who just wants transportation, like ones elderly mother or father. Maybe for a teen when driving alone, never when they are being instructed. maybe parents with screaming kids.
