#4 Self-parking cars

This technology has been in the works for some time now. Automakers Ford, Mercedes and Toyota among others have demonstrated this auto-parking technology to great success. People have been awed by how their cars can park themselves perfectly in a tight spot, something that would take an amateur driver days or even weeks to get right.

Verdict: Possible. While the technology might be ready for public use, there are legal hurdles to overcome. Certain country’s laws prevent such self-parking cars from being marketed, but negotiations are ongoing and maybe with more robust safety tests to pass we might see a few more of these cars hitting the road.

Verdict: If the prices are considerate and if the industry is promoting its potential uses, it can go on to be a hit.
