Note: This was created as a protest vehicle to DMV policies instituted in 2015 when they cracked down to make large MVs have a person walk on every corner and blind spot. It seemed like they went overboard because the only shape that allowed 360 degree visibility to the ground would be a cone. Unfortunately, they didn’t get the joke, just thought it was cool to have a giant road cone driving around.
