I've recently noticed a growing trend in retrofitting advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) like automatic emergency braking or adaptive cruise control into older vehicles. Enthusiasts are divided on the balance between modernization and preserving authenticity—some see it as a safety upgrade, while others worry it dilutes the vintage character. The integration process also raises technical concerns, such as compatibility with original mechanical systems and compliance with environmental standards. What criteria do you think should be prioritized when considering equipping a classic car with these aids?

I'm mainly wondering how emergency braking compatibility is ensured with the original hydraulic systems without compromising the vintage driving feel? Have you ever evaluated the impact of adding adaptive cruise control on the vehicle's energy consumption?
