I wish 4. Throttle controlled ignition and engine shutdown

I wish there would be a retrofit gadget which would automatically turn off (not just 'idle') my vehicle engine when I take my foot off the pedal (and the vehicle is stationary) and give a silky smooth ignition as soon as I put my foot back on the pedal (and the car key is still in the on position ;). Will save us all a LOT of fuel (and money) especially on urban roads with stop-and-go traffic.

I wish 1. Motor-bikes & helmets

I wish bike manufacturers would consider and design helmets as natural extensions of the bikes they make and sell it as a part of the bike. It is a natural means to extend the bike's design identity, to stress that the bike considers rider safety important and will result in helmet innovations.
