looks like the flying bridge on a boat.

will my captains license be a required qualification?

Yeah, I'd imagine it's similar in nature to a scissor lift. It would be interesting to get out and spot yourself in a pickle.

Clarkson didn't need one for his land boat

Clarkson didn't need one for his land boat

given the number of boat related episodes clarkson pilots a boat in,
i suspect he already has the british equivalent

What a ridiculous move on Fords part? This is the dumbest patent EVER!!! must be a marketing ploy to get folks excited about getting off their ass!

I can see it now....Some derelict leather clad ex hells angels doof driving a Bronco with his butt on the seat and his hands high on the bars (window frame controlls) .... all it needs is a twist throttle and tassels hanging off the mirrors

Amazing that it's for the manual.

Thats to get FAA certification for the new flying bronco.....

 

[Area51BS]

It’s for the text while driving people. Better reception while standing up to get that last message read or sent.

"It's easy to imagine such a system being a killer app for those into rock crawling and other difficult off-road disciplines."

"Emphasis mine".

With this invention, I finally have a real shot at my last words on this planet being "Hold my beer and watch THIS!"

 

[Vanimalious]

I have a remote pilot cert. Does that count? Lol

I happen to know, I mean, I heard that you can drive a Tahoe while sitting on the center console sticking your head out the sunroof.
