    If it is Prius V, Lane Keep Assist and Radar Assist Cruise Control would keep the car going. :D

    More to the fact, why is the rear centre headrest so wide? It looks like one of the outboard headrests but I can't wrap my head around the fact that the picture looks fairly centred and not taken at an angle.

    and why is the trailer's head light off? It looks kind of dark.

    Here is the same photo without cropping. It was taken through the rear view mirror. Hope this helps. :)

    You have to ask the truck driver to be sure. I guess he/she was saving battery power to improve his/her MPG. :rolleyes:

    The truck driver did flash the head light when he/she thought that I left too much safe distance in front of my car. See another photo:

    Crop or no crop, the truck was still way too close and I hope
    you called it in.

    It is a wood burning car. It's an old technique, heavily used by Germans in WWII. You heat wood without oxygen to drive off a combustible gas. The combustible gas powers the car.
