I have a proposal to make to car companies. There is a new feature I would like to see in all future vehicles they roll out. I call it a driving simulator. It's not a game or anything particularly engrossing. It's just a feature that eases the stress of a slow commute.
Allow me to explain. Whenever traffic comes to a dead stop, either due to congestion, a long red light, or anything else, the driver would hit a button/switch that enters the vehicle into simulator mode. The car remains at a complete standstill, but it displays some sort of open road that the driver can pretend to drive along. He or she will continue to steer, accelerate, brake, and other necessary driving activities, but the car will remain stationary outside of the simulation. As soon as the car in front moves, simulation mode will safely switch off and return control to the actual driving.
I don't care much about traffic; it's just the stopping that infuriates me. If it was possible to make me feel like I'm getting somewhere, even while completely standing still, I can for once in my life get to my desk at work not in a seething fury.

or you could invent a car that has stilts...when stuck in traffic the tirlts (trademarked paten pending)(as i am calling them)---are released...these will lift your car and allow you to drive over the other vehicle...(not crushing them simply well driving over them by the axels widening and the tirlts being released!). my other invention which is also trademarked and has a paten pending are missles that you can lock and load when idotic drivers just become too much! ummm can u tell i kinda suffer from road rage!
In my view one and all must glance at this.
