    Neat video. I've seen it before I think. Trouble is large flat glass is weaker than curved. And do I want "cutting edge" technology molded into the boat? Would that make the boat obsolete in a few years?

    Who said everything needed to be flat glass.

    I particularly like the 'auto-tinting' feature.

    Auto-tinting could be useful. Controllable tinting even better.
