A Real Automatic Door »

Those wily Japanese (I think it's the Japanese, because of the domain name) are at it again. They have invented an automatic door that doesn't open all the way, but apparently senses the size of the object passing through and then only opens as much as needed, by way of sliding "slats" to outline the object and let it through with a minimum of fuss. Now you don't have to be a cartoon character to create a body-shaped hole on your way out of the building. Cool.

I wonder how fast you can drive your car through it. Also, how do you lock it against intruders?
