I think at some point during the design stage, maybe in a presentation, someone uploaded a copy of the spec in the background of a selfie and cropped themselves out. Maybe they couldn't remember what filename to search for for the original file. I can think of no other explanation as to why this car is backwards. They even forgot to delete the headlights from the rear end after they had grifted their way into saving their job after a smashing bender. Or maybe a potential shareholder said, this isn't going to be as dangerous to kids as other trucks, is it, where the driver can't see the first 5m in front of the damn thing? And the intern ad libbed, hoping to get promoted for saving the project by suggesting the potential shareholder was looking at it backwards.
