Clearing the Air


July 10, 2019


My latest wish for an invention: 

An app that would automatically shut off a car engine after five minutes when the driver insists on running it to keep him- or herself warm or cool while he or she is waiting for someone, instead of going inside to wait.

The engine would remain off for ten minutes, then the driver could run it again for five.

Of course, this would make it inconvenient for people who are waiting for long trains; but really, why do you need to keep all that exhaust spewing into the air? Think about it.
