-crumple zones built into the frame.
-requirements that all riders wear not only helmets, but a full suit of chain-mail armor.
-safety lights pointing in every direction.
-a huge heavy battery pack to power the safety lights.
-speed governors that apply the brakes if you pedal over 10mph.
-automatic transmissions (actually these already exist).
-cupholders! everyone loves cupholders!
its funny, my old subae has no cup holders.

a bicycle desinged by automakers today would be a thing called "rice"

pedals to small, crank throw too small, wheels too small, top speed 5mph for 2000 rpm of foot fed rpms.... and a ridiculous wing strapped to our backs...
and an efficent sticker claiming better than all else.
