All of which are things I don't want in a car. Rear windows just let in the glare from all the idiots who can't be bothered to dim their lights (rear video with image enhancement would be so much better), and a trunk's just a way of breaking up the storage space to make it less useful.

Good luck selling a car where you can't even adjust the seat back or have a conversation with your passenger.
Strange, but I've flown a number of two-place sailplanes over the years, and never had a problem talking to the other person. And my usual passenger is the dog, who usually prefers to ride back in the hatchback area anyway.
