The table is a temporary addition that clips/clamps on. It probably belongs to the restaurant and would be removed before driving anywhere.

(In fact, actually ... look at the underside of the other guy's serving tray. It seems to have a folding mechanism on the bottom of it, and I think it's the same thing. Their serving trays are made to be clamped onto car windows to provide customers with a little table.)

Anyway, in modern times, we have nifty inventions called 'cup holders' in our cars, that allow us to hold beverage bottles conveniently in place without compromising aerodynamics.

But there's still a distinct lack of fully flat table-surfaces in most vehicles. Including our minivan although it could be a loss from the wheelchair conversion, along with the middle row of seats.

But there’s still a distinct lack of fully flat table-surfaces in most vehicles.

Strangely enough, tray tables are a common feature ... on extremely high-end luxury cars.

Which has always struck me as odd. Tables are useful for everyone, not just rich fuckers. And it's not like that would be an expensive or difficult feature to implement. Okay, skip the mahogany and brushed aluminum trim -- make it from cheap plastic. But I really don't see why more down-market cars -- especially family cars -- haven't implemented that feature. (Yes, I know there are actually a precious few out there that have. But why so few? Why is it such a rare feature for anyone spending less than $200k for their car?)
