Things that would concern me.

Is an auto lift from scrapes or crushes? What drives the mechanism?

I think the flexible side skirts have put this possibly complicated tech behind the power curve. The flexible side skirts can take high center crush (like a railroad track crossing) and pop back in shape. I don't think this product could survive something like that compared to a non-moving skirt.
