A car that will correct all of your stupid mistakes. Just like an appliance. Coffee makers that shut themselves off if you forget to, refrigerators that beep if a door is left open, and Toyotas to warn you if you're not driving within their acceptable parameters.

Here they are developing alternatives to the ever-heavier safety equipment in cars and they get nothing but criticism. I'm glad to see automakers trying to avoid their cars being involved in accidents, rather than building bigger and bigger rolling fortresses which are a serious threat to anyone driving anything a generation older.

A heartbeat sensor on the steering wheel (like the ones on stationary bikes or treadmills). That way when you die of boredom the car's autopilot system will come to a safe stop, the the auto-incinerating seat will cremate you then the A/C goes in reverse and scatters your ashes to the wind.

That's easy. Take a handful of painkillers, chase it with some Everclear, then lock yourself in a sensory depravation chamber. You'll be amazed just how much it will feel like a Matrix or Corolla.

Without a shadow of a doubt the worst drivers I have ever seen, including India. Absolutely no road sense at all, no lane discipline whatsoever, and about as much sense of direction as a drunk myopic earthworm. The four lane sweep about twenty yards before the exit they want is a daily event. I just hope they don’t employ anyone from Michigan.
