Running boards (not as big as those in picture of course) are standard option, from factory, here in Europe, including 4 wheel steering cars.

The only purpose running boards serve is to dirty one's pants.

I always felt that running boards got in the way of the natural flow of entering a vehicle, unless of course you stand on the running board first.

They also dirty your pants/legs when they are wet as mentioned above by Force-1
