Default Sliding Bed

I figured this would have been posted here by now but I can't find it and I've searched for it. Seems it would certainly deserve it's own thread.

FORD has submitted a patent for a sliding bed. Bed slides out on rails, you load your new dishwasher on it and the bed slides back in, basically. Will ride on two rails and be electrically powered.

Anyone else seen this? Was given the impression 2019 or 20 availability.

I have a feeling you're going to be able to use most of the bed still. Won't be much to see except for the floor sliding out.

Curious if this is of interest to anybody. Would you check the box?
