A boon, perhaps, to those who could afford it!

I'd like to see safety reports on how easily you can be extricated from the car in the event of being hit on the side before I'd even consider it though. And reliability reports....

I also noticed driving away while a door is still closing. Seems to me there needs to be an "interlock" of some kind so the car cannot be moved while the door is still open, OR the door opened while the car is moving.

We don't have that on most modern cars, which would have a very similar issue.

Hi Dave

Great if you live in a dry Country

Imagine London for about 7 months of the year with lashing rain, by the time the window had gone down, then the door the car and occupants would be soaked. Perhaps I should copywrite this next bit and then email them, how about having an umbrella type thingybobby come out of the top (like a mini awaning)

Same for the Greater Seattle area one would get wet real quick.

In a very hot climate, on the other hand, dropping both doors this way would wreak havoc with the airconditioning...
