how cool is that?

not a fake video right?

Not fake. If I remember rightly (which I may very well not, my sources were far from official), Ford looked into this technology when designing the Mark VIII, but deemed it too unreliable for series production and did not extend a contract to the company that made it.

It's a very interesting idea, but I can definitely see issues with reliability.

Pretty cool, an updated version of the slide down tailgates on older station wagons.

Just pray you battery never dies.

Wasn't this thing for sale on eBay a couple times?

That's cool as hell but might suck in a heavy downpour as a lot of the car interior
is going to get wet!
