Supposedly much moreso than a standard door.

I read up on it for about an hour, and it makes sense.

Very cool looking! Some busy Denver streets are quite narrow and one's (parked) car door is in danger of being removed by heavy traffic. This would come in handy.

As long as you're saefly in the car, with the door in the upright-and-locked-position, it would foil would-be carjackers, who could literally not get a handle on the vehicle. (Not sure I would like waiting for it to close, though.)

Hmmm: what happens if someone's hair or fingers are caught in the door when it closes? How does the emergency crew get the door open in case of accident?

Balsamorhiza sagittata shoots are edible, and taste a bit like sunflower seeds when you steam 'em.
