I feel as if technology has stagnated, all that are left are grifts or just make everything terrible, like AI. I was thinking Zoom calls maybe? The tech has definitely improved since Skype.

the proliferation of backup cameras in cars has been very nice

Keep in mind this only happened in compensation for a decrease in rear visibility. The cameras were added because it would be impossible to back up otherwise. Though, I agree with the overall point that safety features have improved a lot: collision warning/braking, IR parking sensors, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise (if you can get it).
