That could be pretty useful, but I simply foresee a new repair bill. :|

Hell, when GMC first introduced retracting running boards they didn't work half the time for a year and a half. OTOH, their retracting cargo bay roofs worked like a charm.

Impressive. Maybe once it matures alittle and becomes as reliable as a regular car door, we may see that on high end Mercedes or even Porche.

Looks unsafe, expensive, unnecessary and quite frankly I hate it for the same reason I hate the electric window lift in some cars. (Especially those which won't work if the key isn't in the ignite)

Not to forget the huge repair bill........

Nice song, catchy tune....however......

Why does Wendy need a training video.....for making coffee? I mean even considering they hire someone so inept in the kitchen that they manage to set water on fire.......isn't that something a coworker would just explain in 5 minutes?

Don't forget, these training videos are rolled out internationally. The cost of making this video is probably insignificant compared to 5 minutes of even minimum-wage time multiplied by the number of such 5-minute sessions. Additionally, Wendy's probably sells the video to its franchises.

Lastly, when you hire someone new you have a full day (at least) of non-productive intro time. It's sort of like putting a show on for the kids while you try to get some chores done - a manager needs the reprieve of a string of training videos to attend some actual work in between new hire paperwork and training.
