Try a Fumoto valve. It's a game changer!

Don't see that as a huge advantage over a sump plug. I'd still have to get
under the car and remove the tray. By the time I've done that removing the
plug is the easy bit. And I'm not sure I like the idea of the exposed little
lever to open it up.

Maybe in motorsport.

There's also a nylon clip to prevent the lever being activated by road
debris.

I can see it could be useful if the hose version was piped up to a pump
mounted higher up, so you could turn on the pump and suck oil out of the
sump (rather than the dipstick hole not designed for it). But then you'd
still need to flick the little lever, so you couldn't entirely automate it.

Although even if you have to jack it up, being able to pipe directly into a
waste oil container has its appeal...
(it would have to be a shallow container though)
