Tales of the Golem; or, the Modern Epimetheus

Inventions the World Needs

1. A keyring device to help you find where you parked your car. It would need to be some sort of ultrawideband beacon that could transmit through multiple floors of a concrete parking structure.
   
2. Quiet/silent windshield wipers that don't make annoying noises
   
3. Better in-car navigation system
   
4. Smarter traffic lights that do more to reduce the flow of traffic into congested areas
