Looks like a truly innovative car.

Pity I will be about 100 years old before I can afford one.

So long as it doesn't go off at the slightest* bump and require thousands to repair. I believe I've read some comments on Pistonheads about Nissan GT-Rs which have a pyrotechnic device to lift the bonnet in a pedestrian impact. Loads of stuff and cost to replace.

* And I mean bumps not involving pedestrians here!
