Cars.com's Top 10 Innovations

Have you bought a new car recently only to be astounded by how quickly automotive technology has moved since you last brought a new car home? We’re astounded too, and we see almost every new car on the market. That’s why we decided to rank the Top 10 Innovations over the past 30 years or so.

Then we decided to take a look into our crystal ball and see what some future innovations may be. Some are already here in select models, while others are just daydreams of ours and car engineers. Hopefully concepts like self-repairing paint will become widespread so that trip to the grocery store and its evil shopping-cart-filled parking lot will be a lot less scary.
