Which features in your current vehicle do you love, and feel they’re essential. Which features do you dislike, and wish they were done away with for lack of functionality or otherwise. Which features would you like to see become standard on vehicles, and/or become introduced in vehicles.
Google as a network giant, and Toyota as an automobile company for the masses are making strides in auto-driven automobile technology, and networking as we know it today will probably play a big part in the coming age of automobiles from the looks of it.
My current favorite features in general on cars: Blindspot Monitoring, Park Assist, Drowsiness Monitor, Lane Assist, and Distronic. I think those are awesome features to have in any car, and aids the driver from everyday city driving to long routes which can lead to drowsiness.

The thing with all these 'safety' features is they try to mitigate human error. I am all for eliminating human error. So I propose, linkable autonomous cars.

Not automotive, autonomous. As in self-driving. Oh yeah, by then 'fuel-efficiency' will be moot; am pretty sure they all will be electric. So we need to come up with new terms for its impact on environment.
Ever wanted to buy a flying car? You only have a couple more years to wait, says a company that has built prototypes that can both drive and fly.
The flying roadster, a sporty two seater that transforms into a light sports aircraft, aims to go on sale in just two years from Slovakia-based Aeromobil.
‘If something like a flying Uber and flying Lyft will be on the market, I think many users will find this a very efficient way to move.’- Juraj Vaculik, Aeromobil “We believe that 2017 we’ll be able to launch this to market,” said company co-founder and CEO Juraj Vaculik at a presentation at the South By Southwest Interactive conference in Austin Sunday…

For safety, yes that would be a big up. But for auto enthusiasts, it would be a killjoy when you sort of give up being able to “burn rubber” or do a little rabbit run not condoning break speed laws. Maybe I’m picturing cars on rails, programmed to go only a certain speed with a virtual safety bubble around them.

The one good thing that will happen with this is that the car will park itself. Doesn’t it grind your gears when you see people back into your vehicle’s bumper while parking, or while getting out? I dread going to certain areas known for such shenanigans.
