What little known auto technology is going to be on the Mercedes S-Class of tomorrow, and the regular car of 10 years from now. I dont really have anything to add except maybe KERS, I'm just curious to what you guys think.

Lane departure, adaptive cruise, and the autopark actuation will be combined into a hands off freeway mode.
Just typing that scared the crap out of me.

I have to say tire technology, like these are going to change things, might even make suspension technology change along with, it since there will be more in the wheel's them self.

Since we're all going to turbo cars, how about a production version of anti-lag for more efficient operation?

Not too sure at this point, I think you might be on to something with KERS, and honestly that would be a good idea, except the push to electric might outrun that to the common man's car. It will be interesting to see. Funny that you picked the S Class, as I think much of the self-driving tech we see on those will be common place on other cars after a while. MB has said that by 2020 they want to be selling cars that drive themselves using the existing tech built into the cars they already make.
Side note...I literally cannot believe how much better the W116 and W126 look without horrid American lights and bumpers. Its like they're not even the same car. Great picture.

I'm not sure, but it's about damn time we had flying cars.
Jokes aside, I feel it will be more automation like what burglar mentioned.

I think the greatest next big for cars is going to be updatable chassis. Imagine a car that is simply a chassis. You get to choose a number of engines, interiors, and even exteriors. But, everything is modular/bolt on, so components can be installed and swapped out at the dealer. As years go by, you can take your car back to the dealer and have the engine updated, or the interior seats swapped out. This could save manufacturers huge amounts on production by moving it to the consumer. Also, there is less "waste", with car's technology always being up to date. Think of it like a computer where you buy the shell and you can change the parts and operating system. Is this a good idea, or does everyone think I'm crazy?

Broad use of lightweight materials. CF/kevlar, yes, but nanotechnology "film" that, when applied to surfaces, makes them significantly stronger. Expect it on Ferraris, then Hondas. I can't wait.
