      I doubt regular doors open as intended either. Or if laid up on its side. Even a front collision could shift the doors enough to cause extremely misaligned doors that are difficult to open.
      Nah, maybe it never caught on because it was patented and couldn’t be used by mainstream manufacturers. Usually patents are good for a long time like 20+ years and the owner wanted obscene amounts of money to use the design or idea.
      Wait another 10 years maybe until the patent is done with.
      As far as why China didn’t steal the design… I dunno lol

      It’s a perfect example of what happens when design engineers finally become dependant on Class A illicit or controlled substances. Whoever designed this was clearly having a long-term relationship with cocaine, and the honeymoon period lapsed about 3 years prior to this. It’s an abomination of calamitous proportions, where the intelligence quotient of those involved has become inversely proportional to the dollar amount of the substance abuse. Kids, this is what crack does in a tenth of the time it used to take cocaine. Psychosis in the workplace - your faithful life-fucker-upper since 1978.

I get where he's going with it, as it seems he intends to insuate both circumstances are true.. yet he then verbalizes his inclination that the former of his statements is likely the true reality (which neutralizes the other possiblity, per the very implication). It makes both options mutually exclusive, which is probably the opposite of what he intends lol. I'm not normally an overly critical person, in fact I love humor in all it's forms. But the fact that he approached this as an intellectual (yet failed in his own arena), warrants this level of scrutiny.

      Convertibles are usually reinforced below. Removing B pillars on unibody cars will always reduce structural integrity of a unibody car. There is an organization called I-CAR that trains autobody technicians on proper ways to repair vehicles according to manufacturer requirements and I don't recall them recommending any such procedure as structural integrity will be affected leaving the repair facility/owner liable for damages, injuries, deaths, etc. In fact, making a repair that over strengthens a structural component of a unibody vehicle can also destroy structural integrity of that vehicle. Modifications and repair procedures must go through rigid testing and crash testing prior to approval.

My stepdad apparently took that to mean "something that is beyond repair" because he comes home with this rusted out Volkswagen beetle that had been sitting in some field for probably the last couple decades. Faded paint, all the wires and hoses were gone, the fuel tank had a literal rat nest in it containing live rats. And I don't know if you know this about the old Beetles, but the engine was in the back, and the battery was under the back seat.

    Jatech actually designed this car for Ford Motor Co to have the disappearing doors before Ford decided to scrap the idea.

The doors were very strong with or without a B pillar for the roof.

      Just think about minivan automatic mechanical sliding doors. You can still open them manually, just requires more strength. This is in part aided by the door being on either single or double tracks (which takes a lot of the weight off and eases the ability of a human in opening and closing manually. You could probably do the same with this door. Perhaps 2 interior handles on the inside near the top and reinforced handlebars on the exterior.

Or if you are in the car and the batteries die, how do you get out without busting a window? What happens if you stick your hand out of the car while it closes? Was there safety stuff to make sure it stops? This car would also not survive where I live. With the cold weather during winter, that door would be impossible to open/close.

      The door refuses to disappear or reappear. Big problem.

      The question isn't, why is it not mainstream.

      Well I spotted 19,246,974,387 potential problems... but sadly I am also a lamer like you, so I'm not going to give one specific example either.

    this is why we can't have any innovation in the auto world anymore. too many people bitching. you don't think engineers have thought of that before? just because the video didn't say it doesn't mean it lacks safety. everyone's so quick to dismiss an idea.
    BMW z1 had doors like this.
    Gullwing doors and lambo doors have their set backs just as conventional car doors have set backs as well. just because it's different doesn't make it bad.

      instead of electric.maybe make it mechanical and gravity weighted.it would then add safety and structural integrety.

      We have PLENTY of innovation in the car world. This is an 'innovation' like Edsel's gearshift buttons in the middle of the steering wheel. No real advantage, just a 'golly gee' factor but no problem solved or process improved.

      @@lulzyboy exploding bolts fixes that problem, the same issue arised with the gullwing doors on the SLS AMG, they used explosive bolts to remove the doors in the event of a rollover of accident.
