Honda designs dog-friendly concept car

Honda has designed a unique — and somewhat strange — concept car that’s “friendly for dogs,” according to The Washington Post. The W.O.W. Concept, which stands for “wonderful openhearted wagon,” shown to reporters recently, is an exhibition model with no plans for commercial sale. A special crate for dogs allows owners to interact with their pets while driving. A bigger crate pops up from the floor in the back seat area and can be folded back into the floor when it’s not needed. The W.O.W also features with removable, washable flooring. Aside from making pets and the owners happier, the car provides increased safety for all occupants. One danger for pets and their owners is that the animals can be thrown forward or ejected from the car during a crash. About a fifth of Japanese households have a dog, and demand is growing for cars that cater to man’s best friend, according to Honda.
