Autonomous vehicles are now a reality. Their actual implementation will take much longer of course. I recall a professor from one of my engineering classes telling the class about a test run of such a vehicle on a 2 mile stretch of a regular highway. It was a class in fuzzy logic and controls.

Aquatic ice cream.

The capsules in Dragon Ball would be nice.

What would I like to see?
Faster than light travel for the masses. Heck, any transportation tech that makes it possible to visit one of our nearby stars within our lifetime.
Space travel, for the masses.
A smart programming language that is able to take plain english, see intent, and create software that is faster and better optimized than current hardware.
Asycronous processing everywhere and a way to feasibly design async hardware.
A perfect lossless compression scheme that can maximally compress anything.
A lossy encoder that is more awesome than what we have now.
The ability to grow any human organ. (heart, lungs, liver) and the ability to actually repair brain damage.
The ability to transfer information to and from computers and individuals directly.
The ability to create any sort of matter through an energy conversion thingy.
Fusion power for the masses
Something better than fusion power if it exists
a Dyson sphere
Pretty much any tech out of star trek
A time machine

Edible cars to solve world hunger.

Yup. I'm a thinker.

 

[IronWing]

a Dyson sphere

That would suck all around.

A means of powering autos and heating houses that doesn't require the use of fossil fuels.
It's long past time to tell the OPEC nations to get fucked.

No. You should think MUCH BIGGER when you're asked to fantasize.

Now THAT'S what I call "thinking!" We don't even realize this is a problem until someone like you proposes a solution.

 

[Wag]

Proper GPS navigation systems that will finally prevent stories such as:

"My GPS told me to make a right turn, and I took a right turn at THAT moment, and I ended up smashing into a construction site. I hate GPS navigation!"

Simple. Bolt the GPS to a wall. You are here. You are still here. Don't move.

 

[RPD]

I want a real life spam filter. So I never have to see, hear or read about anything related to pop music (Beiber, Gaga) any "reality show" and any celebrity "news".

The Matrix. After we have that we dont need to invent anything else, it can all be done easily inside the system.

This. A technology that can allow humans to experience just about anything.
