A hump runs from the tail to the head, lifted feet swing forward while
the others stay planted, and the branch it walks on slides by with the
speed. Parked, it settles into its high arch.

A cut-paper collage after a picture book about a hungry caterpillar:
the caterpillar is the speed and power, the sun the battery, the story's
fruit the range. The music light bounces the sun and the segments. A
butterfly or a ladybird tows the song on tissue paper.

A tree with a bauble for the speed, fairy lights for the power, a mug of
cocoa for the battery, a wreath clock and candy canes for the range. Its
lights flare on the beat with the music light, now "Light follows the

Día de Muertos is an ofrenda: papel picado for the battery, a calavera

The ACC recording of 2.32.0 only polled, and the AAD_* properties read
their defaults. The head unit's own assistance manager never polls them:
it subscribes to each for change events, and a vendor HAL may fill a
value only while someone listens. EVHardware gains a read-only
listenToProperties and AssistBlock (global vendor properties 0x21x0A1xx,
all 108 AAD_* ids); the recorder subscribes to that block for its three
minutes and lists the properties heard, those with changing values first.

The map was hardware-rendered, but every frame recomputed every road
point, rebuilt every path and drew the big roads three times, at 20
frames a second, and the car jumped with each GPS fix. Now it is its own
view under the Grid (MapLayerView, a hardware layer): drawn once into a
GPU texture and only redrawn when tiles change or after about 230 m;
each display frame only sets its translation and rotation. The car
glides between fixes, and the Grid over the map redraws only with the
readings.

The map fills the whole screen, top-down and heading up, about 400 m
ahead and 450 m to each side, over a ground grid that turns with it.
The speed moves to a panel under the gears; the battery wall, the

The map gets its own camera, tilted 45 degrees down from about 300 m up,
so roads keep their shape some 400 m ahead instead of collapsing into
the horizon. In map mode the floor starts at half height, the speed is a
little smaller, the floor's grid is fixed to the ground and turns with
the roads, and the power disc has a dark backing.

The public Overpass answered 429/502 and needs ~40 s a tile while the
car gives up after 8 s, so the server cancelled its queries and the
car's retries added load. Now the server fetches only the tiles a car
asks for, as OpenStreetMap vector tiles from OpenFreeMap (MAP_TILES_URL),
decodes the transportation layer with a small reader of its own, and
keeps each tile 30 days on a volume (MAP_CACHE_DIR). A fetch finishes
even after the car has stopped waiting; the car hears 503 with
Retry-After and gets the tile on its next try.
App: OpenFreeMap/OpenMapTiles attribution on the map, retry after 15 s.

A new Overview style: the Grid over the roads round the car from
OpenStreetMap, drawn in the floor's perspective, heading up, the bigger
roads glowing brighter, the car as a chevron.
Server: POST /v1/map/roads {z:14,x,y} fetches a tile's drivable roads
from Overpass (OVERPASS_URL; one request at a time, at least a second
apart), simplifies them to tile-local points in four classes, caches
them for 30 days and never logs the tile.
App: MapRoads keeps the 3x3 tiles round the car from its own cache or
the server; GPS only while the style is shown; bearing from the GPS or
from successive positions. Without GPS, server or roads the plain floor
says why. OSM attribution on screen and in LICENSE.md.

Empire, after Age of Empires: a wooden resource bar, an isometric world
