Have you an invention in your fertile brain whose amazingness is clear to you but somehow does not seem so clear to the world at large?
For example, TT Junior has a rear-facing car seat, safer it is said than a forward-facing one... so why not have a car in which all the seats are rear-facing? Safer for everyone! The driver could have a video camera to enable them to see out.
Genius, no? I have further, even more genius ideas. But I will not reveal them until you too have proved yourself worthy by yielding up your inventive secrets to the SoF Patent Office.

I'd scrap cars' wing mirrors and replace them by small, discreet sensors that would flick up real-time images on the dashboard. Which a driver is always having to look at anyway. No problem about scraping wing mirrors any more or getting them covered in rain or mist. Goodbye to that hugely primitive technology (well, it is daft having to look in a mirror to see what's behind you in the 21st century).
I'd also invent cordless earphones for those of us who are sick of the trailing wires getting caught in things and suddenly, sometimes painfully, yanking out the earphones. They'd work by wi-fi. Of course there'd need to be some refining done on this so that with your wireless earphones you didn't pick up every other broadcast within 20 feet, including everybody else's mobile phone conversations, but I'm sure that would be easy.

Well there you are. Clearly this is the vehicle of the future. I hope Spectrum will pay me royalties when they begin to manufacture this vehicle.
OK how about this. The moment when you take a pear from the fruit bowl. A risky moment. A ripe pear is a wonderful thing. An unripe or over-ripe one - not so great. You could prod it, but then you bruise the pear!
What is needed is a handheld, non-intrusive sensor, probably ultrasonic, which you could point at the pear and which would give a clear signal about the pear's ripeness or lack thereof. It would be good if it could work for other fruits like peaches too. Maybe it could have various settings for various different fruit. Or a deluxe version could automatically sense which fruit it was.

It's not handheld, but I think it's called the nose. It's quite useful for judging the ripeness of many fruits, freshness of produce, aroma of cheeses, etc etc.

A minor one.
The supermarkets seem to have 17 home-brand varieties of tea, and more for coffee (and chocolate). It seems reasonable to assume there's a difference and that people have preferences (and possibly even ones that vary with moods).
Realistically I can't store all of them. A little box that contains (say) 10 bags of everything, (like that for Chocolate bars and biscuits.) seems like it would be quite handy for students and other small households.

What is needed is a device not to tell when friut is ripe, but one that will keep it at optimum freshness until it is needed. Then you could go to the supermarket once a week and have perfectly ripe fruit all week.

A small combination horizontal axis washer/dryer that takes the dirty laundry in a top hatch and drops it through a bottom hatch into a bin when washed and dried. Combine that with a set of bins so you could set up 5 loads of dirty wash of different sorts, set the appropriate water and soap settings and come back when it's all done.

This is good. But I think one should also have the option of universal joint knees, maybe ball-and-socket, so that you could bend your legs in any direction. Great for ice-hockey goalies.

I have two things which claim to extend fruit life. There are bags which absorb the ethylene which fruit produce, thus slowing ripening. They can be got from Lakeland in the UK, or a company called Ecoegg.
There is also a gadget I got off a shopping channel for putting in the fridge. Genius Air It produces negative ions which apparently neutralise the ethylene gas. At the risk of sounding like a review on the site, I bought one, and found it worked, so bought a second for my other fridge.

My husband, who designs sensory devices, designed one of these for a fruit sorting company. It was a sensor which had to be tapped on the fruit and was calibrated for a variety of fruits.

Ah, now if you'd watched "Top Gear" last night you'd have seen Jeremy Clarkson enthusing about the amazing app on his phone that let him heat up the car, unlock it and probably even make tea in advance from wherever he happened to be. It was some kind of new hybrid BMW I think.

It's called a container of liquid nitrogen. They used to have them in the labs where I went to school and it cools things very fast. I'm told there are Italian machines which use a tank of co2 and a special nozzle to instantly make gelato and fresh fruit sorbet. Since it's using high pressure gas, it keeps indefinitely.

It's not a gadget - it's called a "hairdresser".
Having said that, I'd like something (possibly a tablet or injection) that'll make the hair on my head grow nice and straight (so that I don't have to faff about with straighteners) and the unwanted hair anywhere else (don't ask) stop growing altogether.

Combination slow cooker/pressure cooker is definitely a thing. Don't think one with a sous vide function exists yet though, but my friend has a combo slow cooker/pressure cooker/rice cooker. You can get ones with halogen ovens in as well.
