Computer Controlled Indicator Canceler
Turns off indicator automatically once car is traveling in a straight line. This would eliminate having to follow someone down the street with their indicator flashing 'I'm stupid as hell, I'm stupid as hell' and not knowing if/when they are every going to turn. And then there's the classic left hand turn with right hand indicator on...pure genious.

Traffic Override
This invaluable gadget would sense the speed of surrounding vehicles and in conjunction with GPS determine the speed limit of a roadway. If someone was traveling under the speed limit and a car was approaching from behind it would (after checking for clearence) automatically steer the slower car into the right hand lane allowing the car doing the speed limit to pass. If it was a 1 lane road it would pull the car over to the side of the road until traffic cleared. This would eliminate having to follow someone doing 25mph in a 40mph zone while they're talking on the cell phone or the person in the passenger seat.

Making someone go into a shoulder, could be sending someone on to black ice, they could be going slow due to inclement weather, etc.
How would the sensor check for EVERYTHING in sight and determine if it's okay to move over? What if there is a big pot-hole?
The Anti-Idiot Eliminator
You know who they are. They sit at the intersection staring at you as you approach. They wait until you're 5 or 6 car lengths from the intersection then pull right out in front of you. This desirable device would sense oncoming traffic and lock the brakes on the stopped vehicle so they couldn't pull out in front of you. This particular device should be mandatory on all new vehicles.

While i was driving to school today i was passing a car (new chrysler 300) that i noticed had a blind spot indicator light up in the mirror as i went by. This got me thinking, cars have all this technology such as rear view cameras, blind spot indicators, parking sensor, self park, etc. With all this stuff the next generation of drivers wont know how to drive a car. My car has none of this fancy stuff, future drivers will become so dependent on such technology they wont be able to function without it, making for worse drivers on our roads. Food for thought...
To add to your case, consider the 2012 cars compared to the 1955-57 cars.
My point being, with the differences in these years how could you expect someone to be able to drive a car of this vintage and safely on the streets?

The technology exists and i believe there are cars that drive themselves. Just nothing mass Produced. I've gotten my taste of carbureted engines. Our boat is carbeurated and can be fun to start.
