I remember we here at EM spoke about this very thing on our cars years ago. It's been a long while, but we had spoke of a collapsable tail section just like this.

A tail could be fashioned in such a way that it slides back into itself, or outward on rails.

The tail could deploy using a signal from the VSS. Once you get to a certain speed, it would deploy and then go back into itself for parking and such.

I'm glad to see it being done - even if just on concept cars.
