Valet Simulator Videogame

Cars, Event or ActivityJon RuggieroComment

Idea: A silly, over-the-top "valet simulator" videogame, similar in spirit to Paperboy, where you have to dodge obstacles, fight off dragons, perform reckless driving maneuvers, etc. and still return the car to the owner with minimal damage. Also: the odd trend of videogames based on boring jobs, tipping the hospital valet, tipping driverless cars, accidentally leaving stuff in the car like guns, babies, or both a gun and a baby

Mandatory Texting Car

Cars, Evil, SillinessDiego AttanasioComment

Idea: A car which requires you to be texting the entire time you drive it. Also: waiting to check your texts until you're driving, questioning whether you'd be allowed to drive if you didn't have friends to text, texting at parties to cope with social anxiety, autonomous cars forcing you to text if you're drunk to keep you from trying to drive

Car Dealership Murder Mystery

Cars, Event or Activity, MoviePeggy BeattieComment

Idea: A comedic murder mystery play similar to the movie "Clue" which takes place in a racially-diverse car dealership during a big car sale. Also: your coworkers at the car dealership are being killed off but you don't run away or call the police because their deaths mean that you'll get more sales commissions, the worst customers at a used car dealership are white women who are retired schoolteachers

Archimedes Death Mirror

Evil, Cars, Silliness, TechSteve HansenComment

Idea: To somehow use your rear-view mirror to blind people who are driving behind you with their brights on. Also: the poetic justice of blinding someone with their own light, intentionally becoming a victim so you can justifiably take delicious revenge

Car Roof Holograms

Evil, Cars, SciFi, Silliness, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: Holograms on the roofs of cars for expressing anger to nearby drivers. Also: sparkly ambulances in Japan, the 2Pac hologram, the Pepper's ghost illusion, mistaking the car roof hologram for a soul leaving the body after a car crash

Mechanic Sitcom

Cars, TV ShowAnthony SlandaComment

Idea: A sitcom about a mechanic, featuring all of the weird things about being a mechanic in a car dealership, such as people leaving weird things in their car (guns, soiled undies, drugs, etc.), people's dumb failed attempts to fix their own cars, and how it's somehow still allowed for them to display pictures of nude women in the workspace

"Honky" Custom Car Horn Sound Device

Invention, Tech, CarsTed MossComment

Idea: A device (the "honky") that makes different car horn sounds to communicate different things, like "look out", "excuse me", "screw you", or "my bad". Also, maybe configurable text on the front/rear or your car that says "move over"

Future Car

Business Idea, Environmentalism, Futuristic, Invention, Tech, CarsTom WalmaComment

Idea: A single-person electric car/vehicle that's skinny enough to drive through a door into a house or building (so you no longer need a garage, and you can go fast down hallways at work). It can orient itself both horizontally like a motorcycle and vertically like a Segway, and travel up and down elevator shafts instead of using elevators.

Also, the privacy of having your own transportation vehicle is important, because at least one day of your life you'll probably shart your pants, and you don't want to prolong your humiliation by taking public transportation back to your house

Privatized Roads

Futuristic, Tech, CarsMark SweetmanComment

Idea/prediction: If a company like Tesla or Uber owns all of the cars instead of people owning cars, they will have a financial incentive to own the roads and keep the roads in good shape, because they would have to pay for damage to their massive fleet of cars due to potholes, etc. Also, they could remove "redundant roads" to save costs, because if it takes longer to deliver stuff to a place because the road on the most direct route no longer exists, that extra time doesn't cost much if the cars are all electric and self-driving

Modular Indoor/Outdoor Electric Flying Car

Drones, Environmentalism, Futuristic, Invention, Tech, CarsTom WalmaComment

Idea (NSFW): A single-person electric car whose chassis can switch between horizontal mode (like a motorcycle) and vertical mode (like a Segway). When in vertical mode, it would be thin enough to fit through an ordinary door, so you could drive it inside buildings and up and down elevators. Modular attachments would be available, such as an SUV-like "family compartment" or a quadcopter flying car attachment

Cars Without Batteries

Invention, Doomsday Prepping, CarsTom WalmaComment

Idea: Cars don't need batteries. Brakelights can be LED lights with batteries built into the bulb. The speedometer and console (except the fuel gauge) can be a phone app. The electricity needed to start the car (i.e. ignition) can be obtained by electric car charging stations which are being added to parking spots.

Street Justice

Tech, Evil, App, CarsGimmy CiprianoComment

An app or electronic device to help you humiliate or take revenge upon rude or reckless drivers. Also, should we have different car horns for different emotions, and/or eliminate the car horn?

Car Hookup Spot App

App, NSFW, Social Media, CarsJeff HorsteComment

An app to tell you the best places (private, safe from cops and criminals) to hook up in your car, which you might want to do because you don't want to show your partner how gross your apartment is. Plus, a beneficial role for perverts in society

Bad Driver Hunger Games Lottery

Evil, Tech, CarsBrandon PonkeComment

If someone is at fault in a car accident, almost causes an accident, or is just being a jerk on the road, their car's AI computer (which all cars will be required to have installed) will detect that this occurred, and then, when they park, the car will release knockout gas. Then the person will be put in a lottery with like 100 other bad drivers, and the person whose name gets drawn will be punished. The punishment will be that they'll be killed, or they'll be given drugs that cause them to poop their pants in their car

Boom-B-Gone

Tech, Invention, Music, CarsChris KarpinskiComment

A device to cancel out loud, vibrating bass from nearby cars when you're at a stoplight or stuck in a traffic jam. And maybe also wirelessly lock the person's car doors so they don't get out and attack you if they figure out that you silenced their music
