Default It's all about development time.

It's not just about the hardware, that's the easy part, changing the software is a bit harder, learning what to change the algorithm to is the really dificult part. You need a lot of data, and more data, and more data. The other problem in developing the algorithm is the mass distribution, chassis, tire, and powertrain diferences of a custom car. You might be able to aproximate something similar to a production cars safe mode without quite as much data. You certainly don't wan't your braking system to behave eraticly and you roll your car.

I could be all wet, let me know if there is progress in this area, some times it just takes someone not knowing it can't be done to do it.
