Many, many, years ago, I heard about U-Turn signals and wondered why no car manufacturer ever implemented it as a safety feature. More recently, my Dad asked me to help craft some forward-looking ideas for vehicles because he was asked by an Automotive Research company to offer some “unmet needs.” I offered some safety ideas such as a motion + weight + seatbelt + temperature sensor system which could alert anyone outside the vehicle if it was off, locked, hot, and considered anyone to be inside. I also offered some nice-to-have feature ideas, such as a memory setting for all the mirror, seat, and pedal positions as well as radio presets. Cars seems to have bits of this one, but never the complete set. This is all pretty basic stuff.
But today I saw real innovation in an Alpharetta parking lot. 
Amazingly, none of this has caught on with any of the auto manufacturers. Not only is this car painted to blend in to both jungle and urban environments (it’s a near color match against the concrete wall), the enormous coffee mug holder (the enormous coffee mug inside is evidence of the über-holder) and the toilet paper attachment are just plain genius.
