Is this a better way to open a car door?
This car’s doors slide down and away into a slot under the vehicle so you never have to worry about hitting the car next to you when you open your door.

+ the Antro solo

This three-seat gas-electric hybrid prototype is made entirely out of carbon fiber, which allowed the designers to lower the weight of the vehicle to a measly 270kg thereby achieving maximum fuel efficiency and a pretty decent top speed of 87mph.

The solar panels on the roof store energy in the car’s batteries for short (15-25km) trips. If there hasn’t been enough sun to power the batteries, each passenger’s seat comes equipped with pedals that can power the vehicle’s generator. If you are by yourself, or your passengers are tired, the car can switch to its small combustion engine, which is capable of running on petrol or ethanol. That’s slick, and perfect for popping down to the corner shop for a bottle of milk. The prototype was shown at the Budapest Museum of Transport.
