I'd give laser pointers to Neanderthals. Even if they did figure out some useful application for them (maybe hunting?) they'd run out of batteries eventually.

Bicycles. If we could have gotten bicycles a few centuries before cars, I don't think modern cities would be so damn car centric.

If I may ask, where are you from? The city I live in is a nightmare for cars, the roads were made for horses and walking, narrow and winding cobblestone streets and the city tries its best to keep cars out of the center.

US. An utter hellscape. Where we ripped out world class trolleys so they wouldn't inconvenience drivers.
