#1 Smart kid. Integrate it with a HUD, bring in a "less ethnic" partner, and this could be a runaway hit with the Mohammedan market.

#2 Things obscured by the A-pillar can hit you ? I bet you have to be yakking away to passengers or high to do that. Has anybody here suffered this kind of accident ?

This tech can be useful for pillboxes, shooter hides and bunkers. And tanks. Why not tanks.

#3 Typical crap journalism. This issue already been "solved" many times in the past.

#5 It's been solved before. I have it on my new car. This is a better mousetrap.

#6 A-Frame refers to front suspension parts; really kind of hard to steer if you are down there, bouncing off the pavement; A-Piller, B-Piller, ect are the norms for referrting to the structural piese that keep the roof up off the belt line..... ( later stated in the pice, sort of)

#7 That's exactly what happened to me last week. I'm passing on the right and at the precise moment when my front bumper was even with her rear door, when she decides to switch into my lane without using her blinkers (natch). I must have missed her car (or she missing my car) by 1/2 an inch.

Yes, she was a young blonde - why do you ask?

#8 Even if we didn't have high tech solutions, it would seem to me that the ceiling supports could be made far thinner with stronger materials if this was a serious problem, or even move the supports forward so that they don't have issues with the coverage of the side-view mirrors.

#9 I use a panoramic mirror for rear view, since I can't turn my head very much. Works nicely for me. But I do like the idea of seeing through the pillar. It looks neat.
