Here is a submission for your book:
An app like Google's reverse image search, where instead of pictures, you upload sounds. Specifically, sounds that your car makes. It provides a likely diagnosis without having to go to the mechanic and make an embarrassing vocal reenactment of the sound you heard. No more "sometimes when I turn left it makes a sound like 'gr-gr-gr-wah-wah'gr...pop!"
Wow. Synchronicity. I was just at the mechanic today trying to mimic the sound my car was making.
