Easier ingress/egress - Driver seat automatically push back when seat belt is disengaged. Similarly driver seat automatically go to pre-set 1 or 2 position when seat belt is engaged and door closed (default position 1 or 2 programmed in the infotainment set up menu).

Coin holder - Spring loaded ammo clip style coin holder for quarters in the center console. We still need quarters for parking meters in many towns.

Front view camera automatically switch on when obstacle is detected and below 6 miles/hr.

I love your last point (wish). It would be great if the front camera (or 360 camera) turned on when the parking sensors engage due to an obstacle in front of the car.

A more useful HUD. Show us blind spot warnings. You then have situational awareness while looking ahead.

Another USB port on or near the center of the dash board. Perhaps next to the 12 Volt outlet. Obviate need for long USB cable to phone for Android auto on MMI display

An integrated phone mount or a space for phone mount easily accessible to the driver..

Nope. Keep it clean and keep the phone in the armrest out of sight, Once you connect your phone to car, everything you need while driving is on the MMI anyway.

Phone in hand rest is good. Unfortunately some of us suffer from out of sight out of mind syndrome and forget to take out the phone. Its a real pain if the car needs to valet parked and that parking is remote - places like NYC.

In the settings you can have the car remind you that your phone is still in the car - either by voice or special chime alert. I use the voice reminder.
