Future Tech in Cars

[SteellFJ]

Considering all the gadgets and technology available now in the most basic of cars for a few thousand pounds of upgrades, whats next?

I mean we have ESP, ABS, Bluetooth, TV's, Phones, Double Glazing, fridges, in-door umbrellas etc etc etc - What new Tech would you like to see being adopted and used in Cars in the next few years? even the most basic of ideas like the umbrellas.

Cant be much left to improve safety or entertainment shirley? i know we have autonomous cars currently having some bugs worked out but really what else can they throw at us....

I don't know why makers don't offer built in dashcams. Seems obvious.

This is more like it, something we could all benefit from and one that had crossed my mind.

These could also be fitted to motorbikes, however my one draw back to this is more witnesses' to silly driving of people just having fun and who can actually drive - if they offered them on all cars the police/insurance companies would use the footage for speeding etc no doubt.

Electric shocks applied through the steering wheel if you change lane without indicating.
Speed limit of 30 mph if you put the fog lights on.

Don't think I mentioned I drive a 3 series....
