Let me show you all the different parts working. Here’s the steering wheel, the pedals, and the indicator. It’s a bit difficult to see the indicators in this room because it’s so bright. So I’m just going to zoom in as I press the button. So this is going to be the left indicator. This is the front of the robot. That is left, and that is right. So as I press blue, we just try and get that.
