Disappearing Car Doors: A Revolutionary Concept in Car Technology & Design

I would say it also needs a redesign of the seats to make it more comfortable for passengers to get in/out without any support. If you will notice in our current cars we always have to hold onto the door to enter and exit the car.

I can already see people sticking something in to prevent the door from closing. Reason - makes it airy/looks adventurous.

Is it an after market fitment?

Wow so in one shot all the cooling is gone when you open in summers and same for the cold countries, all the warmth lost in one big disappearing shot. Applause

The real question is, what happens if you are inside the car and the battery dies / electronic systems mafunction??

One of the earlier BMW Z series cars had a similar door concept. Remember JC displaying the use of the doors.

Well something new and interesting for sure. However it could be a disaster in case of accidents or system failure.

On second thought, how long car manufactures going to stick with same old "door on hinges" structure.

Time to give something new :-)
