Buzzkill: Ford might put screen doors on the Bronco
Fox News
Ford has filed a patent for a screen system that could be used on open SUVs to protect passengers from bugs and keep their arms and legs within the vehicle during an accident.
According to the submission, first uncovered by The Drive, the screens would be mounted on tracks and power-operated to close off the openings, which would create a barrier for bugs and debris while allowing fresh air and light to get in.
Ford also describes how they can double as a safety system by using pyrotechnic devices, like those used in airbags, to instantly deploy the screens during an accident to help keep the arms and legs of passengers within the vehicle.
