Here's the patent

For those of you who are wondering I posted it on another forum, a guy asked how the steering was done so I posted that I thought it would have been the steering shaft being passed through the articulation pivot, so another guy found the patent,

Rabbit holes?
That's a prairie dog town!!!
Look forward to diving in.
At first I thought 'wow, be hard to drive', but comparing wheel base to supposed position of driver seat, a lot lower, visibility couldn't be so hot. Narrow hood and space to fenders might help. Not much different than a conventional semi, except sitting over the axle, any bets some got motion sickness?
