This was only done as a design exercise. This vehicle is safer than any other as it reintegrates with the chassis front and rear in the closed position.

Inclement Weather

Our wet weather testing of a Disappearing Car Door on a
Lincoln Mark VIII against a baseline standard MarkVIII
proved that the Disappearing Car Door vehicle kept the
occupants dryer during entry/egress exercises than the
standard Mark VIII.
The amount of rain or snow coming
into the vehicle is less than a standard vehicle in most cases.

The door retracts into a clean dry pocket which also allows
normal ground clearance at all times.

Crashes
Our structural integration technology assures that the doors reintegrate
with the unibody/chassisframe front and rear. They are also equipped with
our proprietary Cruciform Side Intrusion Beam. Therefore there was no loss
of torsional rigidity with the ‘b’ pillar was removed.
We have completed highly satisfactory crash tests of
these technologies at a major Detroit equipment supplier.

Jatech has developed a Proprietary Access/Escape System
which is built into every Disappearing Door vehicle.
An Impact Sensor releases all latches after a short
built-in time lapse to allow for secondary impacts.
The door can then be pushed outwards to the ground as
there are no hinges to hold front end of the door in place.
According to a study involving Paramedics, Firemen and other
accident responding personnel, access to passengers is much
improved in any severe accident situation.

Power Failure Operation

The vehicles are equipped with Manual Override Interior and Exterior
for Power Failure operation.

The extended door on the
Mark VIII’s shown in the current video is an option which affords
greatly improved access to the rear seats of a 2-Door Coupe.

This is a breakthrough indeed. However, I am concerned about the chances of survival (when compare to conventional doors) in the event of water immersion with loss of power and the reliability of the motors used to operate the door (do you provide a manual overide as in garage door openers?) How does the side impact strength compare to conventional doors?
