That's the sound of a happy driver with a crash reset button. Now, we're not saying we'd encourage reckless driving, were we to own our own instant-repair-o-matic (the name needs some work, but the idea is all there). But if you knew that every prang, dent or catastrophic chassis-crunch could be solved by stamping your hand on a big red button, we think you'd get a bit carried away too.
But by far the most satisfying benefit of all would be giving those Byzantine insurance claim forms the old heave-ho for good. Not that we'd allow everyone to install an instant-repair-o-matic (it'll grow on you) of course.
Then we'd miss out on classic insurance claim statements like "Coming home I reversed into the wrong drive and hit a tree I don't own," or "Leaving for work at 7am I left my drive and ran straight into a bus. The bus was 5 minutes early.". Or our all-time favourite: "I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel." See, we told you it'd be fun!
