I'm assuming that I already know the answer to the question. It must be either not feasible/ unreliable or cost prohibitive even if you could do it.
I just finished a week in which I drove a Honda with Lane keep assistance nearly 2,000 miles. I may be using the wrong term as there are a bunch of terms and I think they are confusing but the one it had used a camera to look at the markings on the side of the highway and the middle, and it kept the car basically centered in the lane with little nudges to the steering wheel. I did not know if I would like that or not, but it did not take long for me to appreciate it. I don't think I could ever get to the self-driving car phenomenon, but with my hands on the wheel I feel comfortable even if it nudges it a little bit.
Anyway, I suspect that retrofitting a 2009 Lexus GX470 is impossible. I buy cars usually a couple of years old, and then keep them until the wheels practically fall off, and this one, with 160,000 miles on it, is about half of the normal life for me. But it is an analog dinosaur in a digital world, and I suspect that I either have to buy new car or just live with not having this unless I rent a car with it.
I would not mind spending a couple thousand dollars or a little more to have that feature in this car, but again, I suspect it is a pipe dream. Anybody know?
