A vibrating steering wheel designed to help a temporarily blinded driver navigate could help to reduce the amount of accidents caused by glare. The steering wheel will use GPS sensors and lane-monitoring cameras to map out the road ahead while it will monitor for potential glare situations. If the sensors notice the car is beginning to veer out of its late, the wheel will vibrate on the corresponding side to warn the driver of the drift. Once the driver has corrected the veer, the...

The device will not only track your car's health, it will also help you remember where you parked. It will plug into the car's data port and communicate with the smartphone via the included app. Once installed it will automatically connect to the smartphone each time the driver (with phone) begins a trip. The device will track mileage and gas usage, retrieve engine trouble codes from the car's computer and offer possible repair solutions. The built in accelerometer will...

The new motorcycle helmet will feature a helmet-mounted display, eliminating the need for riders to look down at their phones or GPS devices. Made of carbon fiber and weighing in at just 2.2 pounds, the helmet will be controlled by voice commands. The full-color, translucent image containing the desired information will be projected directly onto the visor, and a light sensor will adjust the image brightness to meet different lighting conditions. The helmet's maps will be powered...

The new bike lock will help discourage bike theft by disengaging the bike's steering system, making it a bit harder for thieves to 'snip, grab and ride.' The system will be integrated into the bike's stem, where it will be locked or locked by a key. The system will be securely fastened for riding, but a simple turn of a key will disconnect the handlebar stem from the fork--making it impossible for anyone to steer the bike. In addition to deterring thieves, the handlebar...

Now that flexible LCD screens are available, I would love to cover my car with LCD material. A camera somewhere on board would film the passing scenery and then display an interpretation moving across the surface of the car as it moved along. It could even display the background when parked, like super camoflage. mmmmm......., maybe not, other drivers would just crash into it!

There are compartments for smokers and non-smokers, there are even women's compartments. Now, why aren't there any compartments for kids? A lot of people (like myself) enjoy a peaceful train ride. They can do some work, read a book, or simply take a nap. However, all of this is suddenly over if a small child enters the place. I've experienced unbelievable scenes in the last years, including hours of hysterical screaming and provocative stomping around. One time I've even had a used...

What heat wrap is is a shiny coating of an adhesive plastic that protects boats and other manufactured products of large size for transport. It is adhered to the surface with industrial hair dryers (basically an extremely hot hair dryer) so, on any average day anywhere in the world the sun and heat have no way to melt it thusly it protects what is underneath from all weather (it is weather-proof). If you wanted to cheaply change the color of your standard vehicle safely this could be done...

GPS-based local traffic situation viewer: Given the GPS satellites and mapping satellites we have today, if we can have satellites dedicated to specific areas, we can have them prepare dynamic maps of the traffic situation: 1. periodically, 2. On demand. I am driving my car fitted with a GPS-local traffic situation viewer (LTSV). I got into a jam, and want to know the situation ahead and behind (can I go on the wrong side , take a turn here, take a right in the next road etc.), I just...

Introduce 'talking' or 'quiet' seats on airplanes, which would be offered in addition to the routine window or aisle options. Then, they can seat passengers according to their chatting preference. Extroverts will be assured that the person next to them wants to make small talk as well, and introverts can be guaranteed a quiet ride.

Each time I make a purchase and get a receipt, I either stuff it in my pocket, throw it away, or put it in my car as I leave the store. What if there was something built into the middle counsel or dash of your car, where you can insert the receipt, it is scanned, and is stacked nicely for you to retrieve later. The receipt's info is then inputed to a spreadsheet file or the image is electrically stored. Then you could download the already formatted spreadsheet file to your computer with a...
