I wonder if the actual one will say:
"You are an eight year old girl - put your bloody seatbelt on before you start drawing on the window".

Someone already did! Toyota

If you look in the description it says "NB: The video used to promote this vehicle concept is a simulation filmed in static, controlled environments. All health and safety requirements were met for the described conditions. Toyota will never promote unsafe behaviors, and will always encourage passengers to fasten their seatbelts"

Not suprising they had to in this day and age....

and Toyotas will still be boring to ride around in. If I were to spend extra money on windows in a car, I want electrochrome, double glazed with argon.. way way way before having a built-in Fisher-Price toy.

I find the use boring, but the idea and tech impressive. Cant imagine kids will find it much fun after a week or two. Although littlies might for a few years.

Pity its just a concept, and not reality.

I'm not sure how much it is but imagine your rear passenger window was smashed on your Ford, it would be like a couple-hundred to replace?

A comment on the video was true, imagine somehow that window was smashed on the Toyota.
You: "So, some idiot smashed my rear window, and I want a replacement, how much?
Toyota: "About $3500 without fitting."
You:
