Sebastian Thrun: Google's Driverless Car
Ubuntu Brainstorm: Vote on the Ubuntu features you'd like to see
The concept is based on Dell's IdeaStorm web site, which the computer maker uses to solicit ideas. Right now, some of the top suggestions for Ubuntu are:
- A better interface for managing network connections
- Use less power
- Combine the Preferences and Administration menus and condense some of the submenus
- Let users know which application is using a volume that cannot be unmounted because it's in use
- A prettier bootloader
- Quicker boot speed

The fault for Linux is when it comes to drivers. I'd fix that

Sure, ther are a dozen or more Ubuntu flavored distros, but maybe I want something a little more custom. Sure, there is a process to roll a distro yourself, but I want an easier "roll it yourself" live/install cd process.
Make it look like an "add/remove" app, and then instead of "apply", click on "create". Some time later, it says it's done, and there you go, a fresh hot iso ready to be burnt to disk (cd or dvd)

Just ran an Kubuntu liveCD last night, couldn't get my WiFi to work (Belkin Pre-N on USB), this is a major barrier to widespread adoption.
I think the Linux community should focus more on bringing innovation to the UI. Right now KDE and GNOME are copies of existing commercial OS's and both are _good enough_. I think we need a new UI that is less application centric (too complex for the aging population) and more user activity centric.
Finally, minimizing power consumption is a responsible thing to do.
