I have enough trouble with all this stuff in a car. Please keep it a long, long way from my bike.
Riding is about me, the bike and the road.

Do they have rear view radars too, to see who's coming?

Until the batteries run down/out.
Solar powered or pedal powered.

Solar power at night?
In the days of the down tube shifters, it was sometimes a playful prank to reach over and do just that to drop a mates gear into top just as the road starts to go up. Of course, I never did.
Lunar powered.

Loving this technology, Just bought the Di2 interface for programming the gears, it's a bit of fun.

Not much effort on that part. Sort the battery problems out first, then stick the tech in place.
Pedal powered then.

(some time in the future) OK, so it's got loads of tech and a battery. Seems crazy to get all that, and not get the model with the larger battery and a small assist motor - just in case.
It's seems a lot of complication when the engine is still a person.

Dynamos haven't made that much progress in recent years. And then you've different voltages to work with. Put wires into what should be a wireless system in some cases.
