Some countries I have been to do not seem to have reversing sensors over
a
time when they have become commonplace in the UK.

Cruise Control whilst unusual in the UK is very common across all classes
of car in other countries.

I suppose other additions like GPS / SatNav are a bit country specific.


I can see how an Importer of one brand would make a decision, but this
seems to go across brands.

All of these things are available everywhere as options - even on low end
cars.

As a manufacture fit they are most certainly not available on low end cars.

Agreed that they will be available as an after market modification, but then
you have all the aggro of not easily being able to get competitive insurance
quotes because you tick the "I have modified my car" option when (IME) 80%
of companies magically now refuse to quote (despite your particular
modification being a positive improvement)
