#1121: Hatchbackwards

Hatchbacks are a great idea (especially in this form).

When it comes to reversing them, however, life becomes complicated.

Today’s invention is therefore a small modification to all such vehicles. When reverse gear is engaged, the hatch is unlocked and automatically raised so as to be only slightly higher than the roof of the car.

This allows the driver to see behind him or her very much more clearly (and also acts as an extra signal that a reverse manoeuvre is in progress).
