This is an amazing feat of industrial design. I don’t know why someone hasn’t thought of it sooner. It’s beautiful.

It *is* beautiful, but what happens when it snows, or if the wind is blowing a lot in rainy weather? Don’t you end up with a lot of snow/rain inside your car? I assume they’ve tested that, but I’m curious.

Yeah, I think you might get a bit more weather inside the vehicle if you needed to get in and out during a rain storm. But I think the convenience during the rest of the year when it’s not raining might out weight the inconvenience of a rain storm. Especially for physically challenged drivers.
I think the company is from England, so they must have to deal with quite a bit of weather.
Unfortunately, I suspect it’s pretty expensive right now to have this custom-made for your car. Otherwise I could see applications for the health care industry to make things much easier for disabled drivers to get around.
