it's cool, but feasible? I mean what if your battery dies...what are you gonna do? At least in even the most modern car you rely on your own strength to push the door outward in order to escape it, as opposed to relying on electronics to do it for you...

safety comes first. And i dont think that will satisfy that concept.

What happens if the door gets hit? You are then trapped in the car. FAIL

Let us not forget when it ices over. Sometimes you have a hard time opening a traditional door when it's iced. Can't imagine what this one would do in that case. It does look cool, but just wondering how well it would work for some.

The following responses were copied directly from the website's FAQs section. Read much??

Our vehicles are equipped with a Manual Override which can be operated from inside or outside the vehicle.
safety comes first. And i dont think that will satisfy that concept.
Our doors are stronger and more impact resistant that standard car doors for the following reasons.
Our door integration technology along with our modular cruciform door structure ensure that our door reunites structurally with the body when closed in a way which offers greater resistance to crash impact than a standard door as shown in crash tests performed for us by a major supplier to the automobile manufacturers.
What if you park and it is raining hard? Wet doors?
Our wet weather testing of a Disappearing Car Door on our Lincoln Mark VIII against a baseline standard MarkVIII proved that the Retractable Car Door vehicle kept the occupants dryer during entry/egress exercises than the standard Mark VIII. Also you can open your umbrella faster and easier with the Retractable Door.
What happens if the door gets hit? You are then trapped in the car. FAIL
Jatech has developed a Proprietary Access/Escape System which is built into every Retractable 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.
Paramedics, Firemen and other accident responding personnel also found that access to passengers would be much improved in any severe accident situation.
Let us not forget when it ices over. Sometimes you have a hard time opening a traditional door when it's iced. Can't imagine what this one would do in that case. It does look cool, but just wondering how well it would work for some.
In snow conditions the retractable car door will usually operate more efficiently than a standard door as you do not have to push against the snow bank to open it.
We are in the process of developing latch heaters for cold weather operation
