I was in a car with my boss and my boss’ boss. We were talking about an upcoming project, one in which we would have to code an image analysis tool that would get satellite or drone pics from above and would need to detect shadows and make calculations knowing the sun’s position to make measurements.

I then was walking on a poorly lit parking lot in the middle of a forest. It was impractical for both cars and pedestrians, because there was no sidewalk and cars had to weave between the pedestrians.

A foreigner sat in the drivers’ seat of someone’s car to help them start it. He turns the keys in the ignition just to get the electrics started and waits, explaining that the buzzing noise we hear is from a system that mixes the fuel in the tank to cancel the decantation. A gauge on the dashboard is changing slightly. He then tries to start the car, but everything shuts down.

The owner, already anxious because this car was left here for a long time and he was about to take it back home, gets angry. There is a pause, as if someone really just hit the pause button on what I was seeing, and I hear the foreign mechanic in voice over saying that he misread some indicators on the dashboard. The dashboard was showing brake pressure issues, which the mechanic interpreted as having to manually release the brakes by pressing lightly on the pedal while starting, but this might have been a tire overpressure issue that influenced on the brake’s pressure and caused this warning.
