- Rendering of Automobile Seating Design Concept - A designer at General Motors created this rendering of an automobile interior with a clean, uncluttered dashboard. The proposed concept features "suicide doors," which are hinged toward the front and rear ends of the car and close near one another at the center. Closing the rear doors while the car was moving could be dangerous -- hence the name.
