saw this on Digg and thought it was pretty cool.... if it's crashworthy it could lead to some really sweet designs in the future

sweet.. so its kinda like a convertible but imo better. That would be pretty sweet to see a completely clear car.. but it wont be safe lol :). now clear your trunk.. so people can see what you're pumpin.. thats awesome. of course, it'll get stolen but oh well thats the price you pay.

I didn't read the whole story, but is this like transition lenses that get dark automatically in the sun and lighten when inside?

Yeah, that's really cool. Ahh, it's too bad the future is never close enough.
