As a guy that works on old cars (and drives them fast) that will never have OEM support for e.g. ADAS, I'd love to have access to a small, discreet (i.e. not visually excessive, but "hideable"), modular set of sensors that could be used to build e.g. ADAS/parking sensors/(pipe dream) automated driving.

I'm sure the OEMs would be interested, but I'm looking for something I can retrofit.

This is a fantastic idea, i.e. refactor the timeline of automotive electronics to backport modern technology options into old car branches, retaining supply chain control in the hands of a individual human mechanic-sysadmin-owner. Reduce the false conflict between technological convenience and security/privacy.
