Many times I wish the below mentioned, but perhaps it will take quite a few decades to achieve it.
If we could have a global infrastructure, wherein we tell the car the place we wish to visit, which causes the car to automatically figure out: the optimal route based on constantly changing traffic and weather conditions, refilling, obeying all rules such as one-way / speed limitations and so on, it will be truly amazing achievement.
The technology is there, fragmented in thousands of pieces; it needs to be weaved as a cohesive whole in a reliable and safe manner.
In a nutshell, save the time for driving the vehicles for an entire civilization, :)
