You have to keep in mind that Scout is trying to keep this vehicle affordable for the average consumer. Some of these items that can’t easily be integrated via software like 3rd row w/ co-captain seats, crab crawl mode, and window blinds mode on all the windows which would require electrochroamatic film (expensive), is probably not going to happen and the majority of possible Scout buyers probably could care less about some of these things. Scout is not trying to be a Hummer EV and are focusing more on similar competition like the Ford Bronco/Ranger Raptor, Jeep Wrangler, Rivian R1S/R1T/R2 and Toyota Land Cruiser/Tacoma TRD to name a few that is in that 50-65K price range.

Some of these features can be implemented later on as they become more mainstream. My title did say current and future features. The only one I really care to see right away is the co-captain seats with the 3rd row.

Manually set a crawl speed for off-roading. Newer Jeeps do this in 4Lo with Hill Descent Control. First gear is 1mph, 2d gear is 2mph, 3d gear is 3mph... Really a convenient feature that would really nice if it was tied to buttons on the steering wheel (activation could be on the display, then use up/down buttons or a control wheel on the steering wheel to set the speed)...

while I don't anticipate full self driving in a 27 Scout - VW does have a good suite of top end driver assist features, which I hope are all offered on the Scout. Auto wipers are on my 2015 VW - would be embarrassing if a 27 vehicle did not have them. My 17 Ford has auto high beams - again, this vehicle should not be a decade obsolete.
