Future Car

Forget the flying car, electric car, hydrogen power, and fancy navigation gear. Top of my list for the next car is a self-washing feature. Sensors all over the car detect when the car becomes dirty and activate built in jets that rinse the dirt. Cat on the hood? Bird mistake your car for the bird shitter? No problem, the car applies a mild shock stunning the offender and you simply kick the carcass into the street the next morning. Getting even more high tech, maybe a generator that creates a strong field to repel flying insects as you drive, no more bug splats.

I hope the auto companies put some of our plundered tax dollars into self-cleaning research and don't piss it all away on trips to Japan to find out how to build cars.
