I'm not being argumentative, but I think the handy boombox speaker-builder builder is ingenious.
Ingenuity doesn't require new technology invention.
Identifying a need/want/problem and then devising and executing a clever solution is ingenious -- that's what BoomBox V2 creators did, IMO.
Anyway, I don't even have automatic locks or windows, so this is Jetsons-like, to me. The Intelligent Drive car that Mercedes Benz demonstrated at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show is moving the company one step closer to its goal of autonomous driving. Tell it where you wanna go, and it virtually drives itself -- reportedly in a much safer fashion than with a human driving a standard vehicle.
It's a little too much for me; I like driving. But, it's cool for those who want the latest, safest, and most hassle-free, I think. Most of the technology already exists in other applications, but some might consider the compilation and final product execution to be ingenious.
While autonomous driving is reportedly not far off from the technology perspective, there currently aren't standards in place for regulatory bodies to safety-test features and the like -- that'll probably delay "driveless vehicles" from being a market reality longer than technology and production issues, IMO.
