BMW's Smart Car Doors Stay Shut When Danger Is Around

Gizmodo have noted the development of car doors that won't open when danger is approaching; for example a cyclist passing a parked car. Great idea! I've been caught by a couple of car doors and each time it has been disastrous and expensive.

"BMW has teamed up with Technical University of Munich in creating these smart car doors, which have produced positive results so far. They expect these doors to be available on the market within the next 12 months, although the doors might be licensed to other manufacturers instead of BMW's own cars."
