  • Extra features that should be on cars

    1. A screen for keeping the sunlight out when parked, that automatically extends itself across windows as needed at the push of a button - and adjusts itself with changes in the Sun's position.

    2. Kind of evil, but could prove useful: Two pairs of electronic screens, one on the front and one on the back of the car, placed and configured so as to be clearly visible to other motorists in all light conditions; the left one displaying the number of accidents the driver has had within the last decade, the right one showing the number of tickets he has gotten during that same period of time. Made mandatory, of course. Could be set up to identify the driver by fingerprint on the steering wheel, or some other method, like a bar code/magnetic code on the driver's license, its swiping being required to start the car. Subject to routine checking during police stops, just like driver's licenses are today. Could retrieve data by radio from central authority once a month.

    I'd just like the car manufacturers to make cars of the good quality that they used to. Not the schlop that is most of what our societies drive now.

      A flush crapper built into the driver's seat with an optional turd catapult ejection system.

        Would it have an aiming device?? If so, I want one

          Lancer, you're close. Ejection seats for all passengers. Acting a fool? Driver says, "Adios".

                      ... and what'd be the value of this?

                        I'd like nothing more than a good cup holder. We Euros don't eat or drink in our cars so we make small middle consoles you can barely put your arm on, and that's rare in itself so.. when I was in the states and drove domestic cars there, I liked the space between the driver and the passanger.. it was nice.

                          The value would be to alert other motorists and allow them to take their precautions.
