Transparent car spotted at Frankfurt Motor Show

Hey, even Wonder Woman has to drive sometimes.

Auto industry supplier TRW has put a transparent car on display at the  Frankfurt Motor Show.

The acrylic sedan was built as showcase for the company’s safety technology,  which is usually well-hidden behind body panels.

Visible through the skin are the various airbags, sensors, steering and  braking systems that contribute to active safety and autonomous driving  capability.

Unfortunately the “driver” in this particular photo forgot to put on her  seatbelt, which can be seen snaking its way through the roof pillar and is able  to cinch itself tight in the event of an impending collision.

One safety feature TRW failed to mention, however, is the elimination of  blind spots around the car, although we’re guessing this particular vehicle  won’t be “seeing” production anytime soon.
