Default Repairs of the future

Here's a video from BMW on "augmented" reality auto repair, but it would
work for home repairs too.

It's not TOO reality - you'll notice the voice-over instructions say:

"Loosen two screws..."

not

"Loosen the two *&%** screws!"

This will be a boon to auto repair shops everywhere. Even today there
are many jobs in the shop that are the result of male ego, poor
instructions or whatever. This will encourage the backyard tinkerer to
undertake jobs that are way beyond the available talent, time, tools
and space. Todays cars are simply way too complex to encourage much
more than simple maintenance chores. The concept would have been just
fine 30 years ago. My $0.02.
