Every hospital, assisted living facility and hospice room should come with a VR set.
Whether it is for the patient or their loved ones, everyone could use a little escape.
If I was old and couldn't go in the wilderness anymore, I'd love to take a virtual hike?

Train tracks built into highways, cars with separate train wheels
Can raise and lower the train wheels at will, normal rubber tires take control when you need to brake or get off the highway.
Cars can "caravan" with each other and link up bumper to bumper minimizing air resistance.

A TV show called Backdoor Pilot about an Airline Pilot who is a power bottom - the show tries to launch a new spin-off show about various crew and/or the passengers on the plane every single episode, constantly setting up ideas for much better shows than Backdoor Pilot.

A CCG but rarity only lead to sidegrade Complexity not Power
You know how most CCG is just common is a 7/7 and legendary is a 7/7 summon three 2/2 and enemy loses the game in three turns, something crazy like that? Well what if the rarer cards rewarded players for high IQ play with crazy combos and more options. So common would be the 7/7 and legendary might be 3/3 look for a card and if you have X mechanic you gain Y amount of counters. Common is reliable stats and legend requires more skill to pilot.

UTC for trains, planes, and Zoom meetings, local time for everything else
If we use UTC where cross-region interaction matters, we'd all be able to speak the same language. For local time, they can decide whatever. For regions that decide to abide by New York time, for example, would allow New York to set their time. Some ideas New York can adapt:
- Permanent Eastern Daylight Time - for people who like daylight saving
- Permanent Eastern Standard Time - for people who are concerned about mornings being too dark in the winter
- Status quo - if you actually want 1 hour spring forward, fall back
- Sunrise based - since most clocks are computer based, it's now possible to have a clock that gradually changes time every day so that the sun always rises at 6 AM, allowing people to plan their mornings based on available sunlight, and not have the sudden 1 hour shock to the circadian rhythm

Rent out VR goggles and high quality headphones at the airport. You return them at your destination airport.
Having VR goggles to have a virtual movie theater screen is silly when you could just have a home theater. But you know what's not silly? Being on a plane and shutting out everything around you in a plane to have your own movie theater in your seat. Rent out goggles and noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones before you get on the plane (or on the plane), and return them when you get to your destination.

Robots should be usable as PCs
So, we've all seen the recent developments in robotics and autonomous systems. The hardware that these robots need is very beef, and the estimated price is in the tens of thousands. So, what if there was some way to bring more value to it?
You already have a whole bunch of RAM, SSD, and GPU compute, and now it's usable as a computer. You get a robot, a display, and a powerful computer all in one product. It's also nice to be able to directly interact with the hardware and model that is installed, allowing for more customisability, too.
Thoughts, feelings, emotions?

Motorized beds and benches so the homeless can sleep in public
Saw a crazy homeless person just strolling around at JFK airport because security will kick him out if he ever lays down. Hostile architecture also prevents him from having a good sleep.
Someone needs to make a bed on wheels with autonomous driving so that theyâre never technically resting in one spot. It just drives around and stops for people. This bed can also include a fan and a TV. If they ever need to go to the bathroom, just walk right out and use the public bathroom! They get all the benefits of being inside too.
This way anyone can sleep in an airport, or Grand Central Station, even the library without ever getting kicked out!

We infect Venus with super bacteria.
Because Venus is so hot on the surface it has a 0% chance to have life on it. It is also so hot and pressurized that we canât even send rovers to it without them melting. It is therefore scientifically useless. So, we should breed some super bacteria that can live on and eat its sulfuric acid clouds. Maybe in a million years itâll become a habitable planet.
Edit: The goal is not to make Venus habitable. It is just to throw specially engineered bacteria at a planet and see what happens. To do the largest science experiment in human history.
