Oh yeah, I definitely want cars that drive themselves.
HUDs would also be pretty great. Via glasses or contacts or etc.  

[Hunter Rush]

Cars that drive themselves? I would love to fall asleep at the wheel because I didn't need to actually do anything.

Yeah. That way I wouldn't have to re-attempt my less-than-perfect reverse parking skills.

xD I just remembered the Flintstones. They get into their "cars" and their feet move. They're like.... running, with the car. It's prolly just better to jog themselves xD

I would...
Fall asleep, Play games, Use a laptop, Listen to Music, or something like that. I imagine once there are cars that drive themselves, having a TV or Computer in the car as well as game consoles can be more safely done. So you can just keep entertained while being transported.  

[Hunter Rush]

That could cause problems if you have a voice-activated GPS though.

"Oh ********, where's the sniper spawn?"

GPS: "Re-calculating route. Military barracks."

Lol, yeah. Or if it rams your car into a road block that was supposedly non-existent according to its gathered data.

Haha that is why I'd expect you to need to perhaps push a button for it to 'listen' to your new instructions, or some other method of indicating that you are directing your speech at it instead of just chatting with another passenger. Remaining touch screen interface instead of vocal would work.

I'd also imagine that the roads would be fitted with sensors in the future so that the car could detect where lanes are and/or also maybe have an adaptation of Google's self-driving car's camera vision which it uses to stay on the road. Then it would see where it can or cannot drive. That, and sensors could direct the car to go on a detour.

Hehe, I think if self-driving cars were approved for consumer use at that point they'd have taken into account some of those potential disruptions.  

[Hunter Rush]

True, but it would still be funny.  

[Encarton]

Heh yeah it would be amusing.
So long as it wasn't happening to me.  

[Emo_Like_A_Dinosaur]

Self flying personal aircraft.




The greatest thing that will ever happen... ever.

 

[Hunter Rush]

********, IT'S AARON!

And yes, self-flying personal aircraft would be amazing.  

[Encarton]

*drops a weighted net over Aaron*
Woaaaahhhh... so it is.

Yep. Back to the Future II.
