Design Details

Good Design: Car that can skip traffic.



A car that can skip over traffic seems farfetched, but in reality it's not.  The car will be built with a spring mechanism where the wheels can retract in and out to heighten the vehicle. The wheels would need to be spread apart so that they can be wide enough to pass a vehicle without hitting it.

Bad Design: 2D Goggles



Depth of field is one of the many ways humans are able to tell where certain objects are spatially thanks to our two eyes. What the 2D goggles basically do is copy the image that one eye sees and projects it into the other eye, making the image 2D. Obviously this is a bad idea since walking around with this thing completely takes away a humans depth of field so if someone were to go walking across the street, they wouldn't know if that giant garbage truck was up close or far away.
