Pretty cool, but how much protection would that offer in a driver/passenger side collision?

That is the freaking awesome, I had to look twice as I thought it was special effects or somethin. It's just so smooth of a process, nice invention but I bet it costs a butt load.

No B pillar would really cut down on side impact protection.

I think my life just changed. That just looked too good to be real! Why did I just use that emoticon? Because it looked cool, like that door!

Those doors looked cool. Wonder if you could drive with them in the open position.

That would cost an arm and a leg to implement. For example: if you were to put that your car and were involved in an accident which totals your car; your insurance agency would only reimburse you for the max. amount that your car is worth. Not to mention as one member said, the decline of safety with the reduction of the side pillar. Asshat idea, unless used on a show car.

No side pillar is nothing new. Every car or truck on the road that has the little suicide half doors do not have a B-pillar. Basically any truck that is a cab and a half with doors is lacking a B-pillar. The Saturn, RX-8, New Mini wagon, FJ Cruiser, etc.

Looks pretty cool. Safety is a concern. But with the recent wave of auto doors, it's not that unbelievable.
