- Spring-loaded gripping rings in the cup holders for automatic size adjustment. Drop the cup in, cup holder ring grips cup. Oh yeah, deep cup holders too, cause the XL coffee from McDicks doesn't seemingly fit safely in a cup holder if driving up-hill.
- F1-style paddle shifters on the steering wheel. I know this is already available, but seriously, for auto or manual get the shifters on the wheel to free up space on the floor. This would mean that the signal lights, lights/brights, and cruise control are buttons on the front of the wheel accessible using your thumbs.
- Adjustable pedal board. Sometimes when the wheel is the perfect distance away, the pedals are not. Lets make the pedals adjustable, or maybe easier would be to have the steering wheel adjustable back and forth as well as up and down.
- Headphone jacks, USB power, and AC power available to all passengers.

2. Sensors - what kind of sensors would you want to see?
|
Have an option to view a plethora of readings in real-time via in the console touch screen. Anything you can think of really.

3. Safety and Autonomous - what would you like to see?
|
- If someone steals my car, I want it to lock them inside and automatically contact the police.
- Automatically shifts into neutral if anything is struck while in reverse. Maybe automatically kill any music/radio that might be on at the same time.
- Warning light/sound if wheels are too close to the curb when parallel parking, or any other time for that matter.
I'm sure I can think of more, but in a rush right now.
