Well obviously at some point along with reversing cameras, integrated dash-cam, inductive phone charging, and full Android Car integration. That's all simple stuff.
I'm waiting for adaptive cruise control and possibly EBA, Traction Control etc.
I believe ABS is difficult to get through the SVA or IVA whatever it's called these days.

Don’t forget about heated seats.

Obviously.
I'm disappointed they didn't include automatic 4 zone climate control and individual front seat cooling when they did the HVAC install. I can tolerate seat heating only to the rear on such a small car.
Even my nearly 10 year old car has that as standard.
Why wasn't the rear wiper rain sensing as it seemed 'so easy' for the front?
Seriously though it keeps getting better in my opinion. In a single episode they've moved on from steel origami for brackets to milled from billet aluminium. Maybe they have just acquired some new machine tools?

I've been a little bit disappointed with the last couple of episodes (which is massively unfair of course - that level of fabrication excellence, humour and video editing just keeps raising the bar), but I thought episode 18 was excellent.
Fantastic attention to detail and humour in spades; "I, of course, do not want an elephant's scrotum in my Mini's life" was my favourite

would have taken me 5x the time
In case you lot haven't realised Episode 19 is now available for all.
Slightly disappointed that they used black heatshrink on the +ve battery cable, I'd have used red (I know my OCD is showing). There was a couple of other things they did that I don't like but then I spend my life wiring stuff so I tend to be very critical of other people's wiring.

Good episode, l love playing with wiring and that gave me some great ideas, especially the floorboard loom layout idea.

The thought of playing with a bucket of worms like they were, makes my toes curl. But then, I don't do understand elektrickery......
It's easy, all you've got to do is not let the magic smoke escape, because once that happens it all stops workingBut then, I don'tdounderstand elektrickery......

If it does you just buy a jar of lucas electrical smoke and put it back in with a syringe.
Have you ever tried buying one of those Syringes

Do they do a negative earth version?
