Fully augmented reality. Travel anywhere you can read the signs, and understand the language through subtitles and or earbuds.

Non-fixed precision robotics. Basically give a pair of robot arms a piece of wood and a dremel and it can make whatever shape, but for any tool/material.

A decentralized currency that is actually useful as currency.

A rental car that picks me up at the airport, and that I can just abandon when I’m done. I don’t mind driving I just don’t want to bother with the shuttles and parking.

Food delivery drones owned by the restaurant.

Cellular data everywhere (like starlink is working on). Ability to order an air drop of like 10 kg of food/supplies anywhere within ~200 miles of a city.
