What happens here

The Autocar cab is built entirely of steel, providing superior durability and operator safety compared to fiberglass or aluminum cabs common in other trucks. It features exceptional 360-degree visibility, with large, gasketed windows that extend further back than typical cabs, virtually eliminating blind spots. The interior is designed for rugged vocational use, eschewing delicate plastics for robust, simple controls that can withstand the demanding environment of a work truck.

Goal: Evaluate the cab's construction for durability and safety features
