No doubt there are insurmountable problems I'm not aware of, but I'd like to see true rotary valves instead of poppet valves. Maybe the sealing is impossible? If you can seal a rotary engine, a rotary value should be possible? I'm not talking about the Coats valve system, I'm talking about the air having a straight shot from the intake manifold to the combustion chamber. The amount of air flow, and the revs capable would be glorious.
Realistically I'd like to see autonomous cars ASAP, assuming sane regulation (we can still drive non-autonomous cars until they all die out) and assuming sane insurance (manufacturers insure the vehicles instead of the owners if it's being driven autonomously and a collision occurs; Volvo has suggested they would do this).
