Can you really drive while facing backwards?

The team at Sparkmate (https://Spkm.co/Build) asked if I had any ideas for things to build. And I realised that, yes, I had a question to answer: and it all goes back to an old kids’ television show called “Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons”…

This isn’t an advert for Sparkmate. I’ve not been paid, and they had no control over the edit, the story, or whether it was published at all. However, they’ve obviously given a large amount of time, money and effort to put this together, and hopefully that’s clear from the video!

They’re also hiring: https://Spkm.co/JoinTheSpark
