Nearly all (if not all) autos are already metric. Medical is already metric.
Lots of things wouldn't need to change initially, other than labeling. A 12 Oz soda becomes a 350 mL.
You think electronics, mostly designed and manufactured overseas, are made in English units or metric? I'm guessing metric and they then get slapped with approximate English measurements.
The HVAC industry would have one of the hardest transitions, but mainly because sizing equations and rules of thumbs are so ingrained in the end use engineers and designers and not because the mfgs aren't already making metric units for global sales.

I wouldn't be sad if the US finally stopped being so stubborn and go completely metric. So much easier to count.

Manufacturing changes, tooling changes, and can you imagine how hard it would be to fix old SAE things
