I think this is a new technology which car manufacturers are adopting. As per my information this year three cars have been launched with these features. They are Hyundai Venue - approx.. 10 lakhs, MG hector approx.. 18 lakhs, Kia seltos approx. 18 lakhs. In the near future I think most cars in the 8 lakhs and above range will come with these features. Some after market solutions are also likely to be available for existing cars. However, when the technology comes from the manufacturer itself, it is more closely integrated with the car and works better.

Of course if you don't mind, may I have an idea about the approx price to purchase a car with this kind of facility? Can we have a good number of choices here or choice is limited to a few?
