With the new high strength steels I don't think steel will be replaced very soon, at least as parts of the unibody structure that is welded together.
I like hydraulic in wheel drives, but would like to see carbon fiber accumulators, with tubular structural components for fluid transfer.
I also like the idea of a removeable instrument cluster that can also act as a PC, basically a modular design that would contain all of the vehicle functions which could be removed to disable the vehicle while also functioning as a hand held phone, wireless internet, PC device that was upgradable without having to buy a new vehicle.
Engines and motors, batteries and fuel tanks, would be plug and play separate components which could be used seaprately or combined to provide local all electric and long distance combined power systems.
