Which of these ideas would you like to see on new cars?
* Tamper-resistant odometer that sends a signal to the manufacturer or government database if tampered with or rolled back.
* Highway Safety Warning System – high intensity flashing blue lights on top rear of vehicle to warn of air bags deployed ahead or ABS braking system activated – this warns drivers far behind that something unusual (accident) is happening ahead.
* High Speed Vehicle Warning System that indicates if vehicle in front or behind is approaching at extreme speed and driving erratically, weaving, etc. (To warn of possible drunk drivers – with enough warning time to get off the road.) Example: Drunk driver on freeway headed wrong way at 100 mph with lights off at night.
* Internal air pump in car that keeps tires inflated at proper levels at all times, including letting air out slowly if too much pressure.
*Foul odor filter – when passing through areas with skunk smells or manure-type smells, the car filters these odors out so they don’t reach the cabin.

I like them all. You should be in charge at a U.S. car company. We’d beat the pants off imports in sales!

these are all amazing!! i would want all of them!! but $$!!
probably the
tamper-resistant odometer
or
highway safety warning system
how did you come up with these?! you should be in charge of a US car company!!

High Speed Vehicle Warning System.This can save your life!

All interesting ideas, however, I believe you can get the tire inflation system on a Hummer H1. Keep up the creative thoughts!

none of the above. i still like my freedom!

1) Internal air pump
2) Safety warning system
Foul odour is less important than life saving
Tamper resistant odometer doesnt really matter to me
High speed warning seems bad to me, it might cause the driver to change direction quickly and cause further problem.

all of them

Well they already have the internal air pumps on some SUV’s but I think the High Speed syatem would be best……but how would the sysyem know if the car was driving erratically or just making sudden turns in the road???

High speed vehicle warning system – good idea! The best one from the choices. (imo)

do you ever try reading up on manufacturers websites? all of the good ideas you listed are in the research stages. as far as turning you in to the cops for odometer tampering… i doubt you want to spend the few hundred bucks extra on it when its brand new, and if you wont then, its too late.
the tire system is in use in alot of vehicles, mostly rvs, its ugly and gets in the way.
if the high intesity lights went off evrytime the ABS came on, you couldnt see in the winter, the sky would be full of highly illuminated snowflakes…
one thing you didnt list that is realistic and possible, magnetic markers in the centerline of the road, and sensors in front bumpers to keep track of the distance from it.
