On the imaging side of the fence SBIG offered self guiding, filter wheel and
camera control a generation ago (circa 1990's)
Sure they did not take telescope pointing and plate-solving on-board but various degrees of integration have been around for a while.....
TheSkyX (likely in its 20th generation by now..) finds, compensates for errors and tracks objects sublimely (including those in low earth orbit)
Things I'd like to see in the future: emCCDs with deformable AO for much less than the cost of a nice Benz.
