When I read about things like this I wonder if any car makers actually take this into consideration when designed a car. I know that drowning is the worst way to go (or so they say, but who are they?), but I wonder if something like breakaway windows and so on come into play when making a model.
I know there are cars that are more airtight than others. It's those cars that seem to take a thousand pounds of pressure just to close the doors. You know what I'm talking about! I would think those would float longer than the average car.
New selling feature: floating car. I think that might draw a few people anyway. I would hate to be submerged under water, trapped in my car. I actually go so far to put a window down when driving over a bridge. It drives my husband crazy.
I have thought of this a few times. It terrifies me to no end to think about it though. I do not know how to swim and I don't know what alternatives would I have if my car were to fall in a river. I wouldn't mind staying a float longer to give someone a chance to come an safe me.
Well, being submerged under water in my car is the last thing I want to experience. I love the idea of a hovercraft, which you can drive on the road or on a river.
I can't remember what type of car it is, but it was a pretty large car near my house and it's comparable to a hummer. I'm sure I'm way off when I say that, but that's what it reminded me of. It actually has a little tube above the car itself and it's made to go in water. I don't personally see the point, lol.
I have a serious fear of being in a large body of water within a car or truck. At least with the truck we could roll the windows down manually but with the car we have everything is power so we would be screwed.

Can your car swim?
