Finally: The see-through car
Researchers from Japan’s University of Keio have built a “see-through” Toyota Prius, that allows a driver to look through the rear seats and bodywork to see any obstructions behind, according to CNET.com.
The system is an application of previously developed optical-cloaking technology, which uses a camera mounted on the back of an object then projects that image onto its front, making it essentially invisible to anyone looking at it from that direction.

Perfect vehicle for the now thoroughly exposed Barry. He should start wearing clothes though.

Same here. I was starting to think “There goes sex in your car”.

Just what bad drivers need–a 360° panoramic view to enable them to concentrate even less on what’s directly in front of them.

Pontiac beat them to it back in 1939.
