What We Thought This Decade Would Be Like Vs. Reality

Cars Would Not Have Doors

According to Beyond 2000, an Australian TV show, cars wouldn’t need doors in the future. Why? It was hard to say – something about aerodynamics? Would it be better gas mileage? Maybe doors just don’t look cool and in the future, we look cool? That prediction never really made much sense because doors are a safety feature. Imagine getting in an accident and being trapped inside a driver’s seat that looks like an airplane cockpit with no way to get out. Needless to say, car doors are plentiful even if some models regrettably forgo all four.
