I've always been slightly enamored with the rotary drop doors that slide under the car [1]. I would never buy a car with them, but they are interesting none the less.

Have you seen the Koenisegg doors? Those are my favorite...

This is great. They should use these for the new Teslas.


The problem with these doors is the complexity and the fact that a simple tree branch stuck in it would completely fuck it up. The complexity means that it will break much more often than a regular door - it has motors and multiple pieces.

Also imagine a child sticking a finger in it while it's closing, turning it into a meat grinder.
