• The article discusses the Canoo electric vehicle (EV) that has been spotted in real life, specifically a Canoo van that appears to be designed for the United States Postal Service (USPS). The van was spotted during testing and has one notable surprise feature - it has a front-facing steering wheel, which is an unusual design choice for a commercial vehicle.
• The Canoo van is part of the company's bid to supply the USPS with a new fleet of electric delivery vehicles. The article notes that Canoo has been working on this project for some time and the real-life sighting of the van suggests that the company is making progress in its efforts to secure the USPS contract.
• The front-facing steering wheel design of the Canoo van is a departure from the traditional side-facing steering wheel commonly found in commercial vehicles. This design choice could offer potential benefits, such as improved visibility and maneuverability for the driver, but it also raises questions about the practicality and safety of this unconventional approach in a delivery vehicle.
