'Active suction' is well known (outside journalism ![Wink](/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif) ) as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coanda_effect. I see no indication of air vents.
More likely an electric plasma actuator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_actuator

The A-pillars are laid back enough to not be a problem. The real problem would be the refractive index of the glass. Everything has fresnel.
