Various flavors of self-driving cars and integrated navigation. Having turn-by-turn navigation is a heck of an upgrade over a road atlas and a compass. Having the vehicle manage speed, distance, and keep you within the lane is a dramatic quality of life and safety improvement. Particularly for "merge onto the highway, now stay on this road for the next two hours" trips. While you're attentive for driving on city streets, good luck avoiding road hypnosis while driving straight on the highway for hours.
