For what it’s worth: (King tv Seattle) Hudson will not be allowed to drive any vehicle for six months and must perform 24 hours of community service. If he fails to do so, he faces more than 1.5 years in jail and a $5,000 fine.

Ugly!.. but I like it. They went for the smallest frontal area possible (low pressure drag) and, via trim appearance, low wetted surface area (low skin friction drag). And it looks like they partially faired-over the rear wheel-end assembly for improved streamlining!

Lots of speculation in the comments about the split rear window in the cabin. One comment suggested that it might be to reduce blind spots.

I wonder if this was to reduce the possibility of distortion of the view? If you’re backing up, you really want a good sense of where the other people are around your vehicle, and refraction through a window will give you a different view if you’re looking through the window at an angle away from the normal (90 degrees from the surface).

They used a lot of off the shelf parts from definitely not trucks, maybe they had the windows lying around from some prototype or other that was abandoned.
