You open your car door, it remembers the max distance to which you open it, and until it's closed, that becomes the limit for which it will allow the door to swing to.
Useful in carparks, on windy days, on inclines etc. No more parking dints, whipped windy slams and so on.

Rain sensor automatically closing sunroofs and windows when it rains - I assume I invented this idea?
Another belter and pretty much a doddle already in current cars. I wonder if it's blocked by some kind of legislation.LuS1fer said:

Exhaust capture system for ICE cars so that nothing is emitted into the air.
I swear this was on a Skoda SUV I rode in back in 2019. Bigger than the Karoq I think.Exhaust capture system for ICE cars so that nothing is emitted into the air.
I was in the back and could hear the driver and passenger so clearly and almost in stereo.
ETA: it was in Czech Republic

Could they not be used to stop the doors opening beyond whatever is next to them? Similar to what's suggested above but they detect the surroundings and won't swing open into a wall, or car that was where when you parked.

Using reverse and front parking cameras for dash cam type activity when not reversing or parking.
CRV has that option on it, though the rear is mainly looking in your parking zone so not sure how useful but saved wifey when someone reversed into her and then claimed she drove into them. 30s stored after a "crash" Honda access it though, not you (2016 model she had).Steering wheel control, similar to the lane change one that warns you when there is a vehicle in your right offside to prevent you pulling out. Except this one once you have passed a car in the inside lane pulls the steering to the left to make you go back into the empty lane, unless you really really resist hard. Prevents MLMs.
School run mode. Peppa Pig flags pop up from all four corners of the vehicle to indicate you are on a school run and need a wide berth due to loss of normal senses.

I recall seeing some US minivans like the Honda Odyssey & Toyota Sienna having that feature; it’s called something like EasyTalk or CabinTalk. Exhaust capture system for ICE cars so that nothing is emitted into the air.
