Default C9 options

As popularity of C8 continues to grow among greater age range would it make sense for GM to add certain options to the Corvette next generation ?
such as parking assist , driving assist or whatever top.of the line technology they offer in their other top of the line cars
is it even possiable to offer such options in a super car?

The C9 generation is still years away, who knows what the car may look like or new features it may have

Why only to the next generation? Companies add features routinely. Sometimes it's on an existing product, sometimes it's on a new product.
I'd say the chances of GM adding features to the next generation of any model is 100%.

Lane assist and the following distance cruise control basically make my wifes Honda auto pilot. I don't want that on my Corvette. Parking assist maybe.

It's been at least 4 decades since we were promised flying cars. I hope the C9 will finally make that a reality.

Id like GM to add shock assist to shock the living crap out of people who can’t drive! Maybe hook it to the steering wheel so it not only lights them up when they do something stupid it locks their hands on the wheel! Just thinking out of the box.

‘Don’t be so sure on this observation. I think 2027 maybe 2028 will be the last year of the C8. What happens at the bash this week will determine what’s going to happen. If 2026 does not introduce a new interior then the car we all saw with a different interior was a C9 prototype in C8 clothing. If they do new guts in the C8 then it just might last a few more years and play kick the can for the C8 some.

Agree. My 2021 doesn't have some of the features added in 2024. I also didn't get the chance to get the Q9 wheels that I believe were added in 2022.
