Actually kind of thinking about that, In the context of older cars, it might be that they will start getting more valuable because they don’t have computers in them. And then the police might look suspiciously at anybody driving a classic car from the 80s or something.
I think this has been happening since a lot of the assistive driving features started appearing. I know in my (rural) area a lot of people avoid cars with lane assistance because it can interfere with driving tighter and less well painted roads.
I drive newer cars occasionally as part of a carshare program since I don’t need one for a commute and I live somewhere in North America that transit actually functions.
I do appreciate anti-rear end features but it’s only activated once for me on a bridge since I’m usually leaving plenty of distance in front. But holy cow, the nagginess of some features can be beyond the level of your average backseat driver. In particular because they are persistent.
Yes car, I know I’m a bit on the shoulder line because it’s a mountain pass and tractor trailers are roaring down in the oncoming direction. Yes car, I see that the vehicle in front of me has started moving away, but I’m not going to follow them left turning into traffic because of it you bonehead…

I always turn lane assist off because it is all false positives with no benefit. It isn’t needed because I’m paying attention while driving…

No way to turn that crap off? Newest car I’ve ever owned is a 2011, had to rip out Onstar, but that was easy.
