Too cool! Thanks for the look into the future. The scuba car was interesting as well.

The last year for the Lincoln Mark Vlll was 1995 or thereabout. So the technology has been around quite awhile.

That is crazy. Cannot imagine what you would do if it broke down. Crawl in/out the hatch I guess lol. I would not mind having a pair of those though.

Not to mention what the emergency services would do if you were in an accident, normal doors can be ripped open with the hydraulic jaws, these, I'm not so sure.

That's the very first thing that hit me....rain!. I notice the window starts dropping a second or two before the door starts to move. Rain would soak the interior and the people inside.

A sacrifice for amazingly cool doors though.

Judging from the people that apparently have these cars, it will probably be the butler or doorman that gets wet holding the umbrella while the owners egress.
