Ideas For Better Car Batteries

Car batteries need to move into the 21st century.
We have seen major changes to just about every part of today's cars. One thing that hasn't changed, is the battery. They still have the same outdated metal terminals, and they're harder than ever to jump-start when you get stuck. Isn't it time we see some change?
It's hard enough jump starting your battery when they're jammed into hard to reach areas, but to make matters worse, they still have outdated terminals, which is nearly impossible to secure your jumper cables. If car makers are going to place the battery in a hard to reach area, they should at least give you a dedicated place somewhere else to attach your terminals.
Even if they don't do that, I'd love to see an improvement to the clamp itself. Why not create a simple connection point on the top of the clamp specifically for jumper cables?
Lastly, I wish we could do away with clamp based jumper cables entirely. When it's dark out, some people can't tell the red cable from the black cable, so why not create a standardized plug that eliminates the ambiguity of the cables? All they need to do is create a cable and socket that has a unique connector that makes it impossible to mix up the polarity.
