Ok, I know that realistically this is a long way off. But let me explain the need for this.
Do you know anyone who, when planned arrival at events, forgets to factor in travel time? My brother is a prime suspect for this; if he needs to be somewhere at, say, 4pm, then he gets in the car at 4pm. Maybe even 5 past 4. He says it's because he's so used to having to catch public transport, that having a car seems impossibly fast. This means he treats the car almost as if it were a teleporter. And so they should be.
If cars were teleporters, we wouldn't need the traffic report. We wouldn't need to worry about peak hour. We wouldn't have to worry about speed cameras, drink driving (teleporting), taxi costs. We also wouldn't have to learn how to drive manual teleporters like we do manual cars. It'd make things so much easier.
So go on. Someone who understands quantum physics; invent this.
P.S. I am aware that, really, the teleporter need to actually be a car. But hey, it's a cool image.

well researchers at the ANU are working on a teleportation device. so far they've managed to teleport a photon (a single particle of light). however photons are without mass, and it will be a long time before we will be able to teleport matter.
another advantage of teleportation is in shipping cargo etc. there would be no need for big ships of cross country trunks when you can teleport your goods straight to your consumers.
OS travel would be much quicker too. no more 20 hour flights!
Yeah the problem with this is that some drunken idiot would teleport his car into your bedroom at 3am. And imagine spam if marketers could just teleport stuff straight to you! Your house would fill with cheap pornography and sample packs of erectile dysfunction cream. I think this technology needs to be developed with caution.
