Perhaps a little more work to reduce the pillars. There are quite a few cars with frameless windows on the doors, but still have the main pillars.

That is one thing I dislike about Mom's Prius, really bad rear visibility
IIRC the pillar thing is due to changes in vehicle crash resistance regulations.

it personally bugs me that most newer cars have much less visibility due to design and safety requirements than older cars. Part of the reason I am still driving a 97 bmw
