Steven M. Johnson's Bizarre Invention #350: The Parktite Car
Renault did it in 1992, albeit with a Smart like 2 seater.
Awesome! I hadn't seen that one; they beat MIT by 11 years. Thanks!
I amuse myself by designing things that are flawed. When I must decide between functionality vs. humor, I tend to choose the latter. Solving the problem of providing back seat passengers a way to exit the PARKTITE easily had a low priority for me.
Back seat passengers get to somersault out. Cool.
MIT beat you to this one: https://youtu.be/ojqAI33YBN4 ...alternatively, you could see this as such a good idea that MIT validates it!
