I mentioned this is another comment, but the crazy thing is that's the driver's view from M1 Abrams. Typically, in hatches open operation you'd either have a Crew Commander (and/or gunner) standing with their torso out of the turret for better visibility (and a second set of eyes), or a ground guide watching where you go.

Perhaps we should introduce a commander's hatch to help large pickup trucks safely navigate around neighborhoods.

Ooh, we should introduce Maritime Pilots to cars!

Just pick up a spotter who knows the territory when you enter a town and they can safely navigate your massive ego truck around the tricky streets.

That'd be the one.

On another note, I think your comment is causing the Boost app to crash. :/
