I wouldn't mind seeing a half sized suicide door like the one on BMW's i3. Much easier access to the backseat, but will take it as is! Power sliding doors would be an interesting option too.

I really don't see it happening unless elio becomes very successful. And then they can make conventional cars.
Why NOT? ALL cars need DOORS; just include the most 'functional'. The "Invisi-Trak" has all the mechanism IN the DOOR, so no need for any internal or external 'tracks'. The Driver's Door could be 'Rear Sliding' (to miss the front fenders) and the Passenger Door (on the right side), could be behind the 'roll cage' support, to maintain 'rigidity' and slide to the front. As for 'expense'..... this could be a 'Luxury OPTION'.... and would be nice for any "Fleet Sale TAXI" models.

A convenience option yes...........luxury is a totally different class of vehicle. Invisa-Trak should be a mandatory option on future Taxi and Police Car Models.
