Has a terrible touch screen in the center. Prescient.

Interestingly, it has a Pitch but no Roll indication

Maybe because we’re much better at judging pitch than roll (says the guy with 0 straight horizons in his pictures).

Oh OK. I thought it was Deckard's cars.

Gaff first picks up Deckard while eating noodles at the street stand, drives (or rather flies) him to the police station. Gaff then also takes Deckard to the Tyrrell Corporation building.

In fact, I can't remember Deckard piloting one of these, but I do seem to remember him driving a regular old fashioned car with old fashioned four wheels.
