Close-up photograph of the cabin of an orange garbage truck, with a driver and a passenger next to him. Mounted on top of the cabin, parallel to the sun visor, is a long transparent tube which lies at the center of the photograph. The tube contains five white cylindrical inserts that define compartments or connect modules. Within each of these compartments there are metal elements that resemble electronic devices and sensors. The tube appears approximately 1 meter long, with an estimated diameter of 15 cm and appears made of lightweight plastic. The garbage truck is on the road in an urban or suburban environment, with a two-story building in the background.
