Principles of Marketing

So for my marketing class, we have to come up with an original product or service (or a combo of the two) and work with it for the semester. I'm fresh out of ideas. Any suggestions?

I dont think there are any original ideas left!

okay how about liquid crystal heads up displays in windshields of cars
it's just a matter of time before they are done by the auto industry
but noone seems to be talking about it now

basically while looking forward you can see mph, gas level, ac settings...
more eyes on the road time, less bs....

and how about self tinting windows
they can do it with fucking sunglasses but anot a windshield...
basically as you are driving and the sun comes into your line of direct site, the front windshiled tints to block the uv rays but not so much it impeeds your vision....
i hate the stupid little visor things that are not big enough to actually do anything to block the sun.

something similar to your first idea is already being done, but without the lcd. i think the image is just projected from the dash up onto the glass...

If you get stuck with an ethics paper I recommend doing someone of real interest. When I was in my last business class I had half the class doing their papers on FDR and Eisenhower, both good examples and all, but I decided to do mine on Ralph "Sonny" Barger and I got an A for originality alone.
