Why it works
The exterior starts turning transparent by 0:00.75, so the opening title's promise gets immediate visual proof. One 28.8-second spatially continuous shot moves from a recognizable wheel to an exploded brake stack around 0:06, the strongest replay point, then uses sparse labels and a red piston arrow at 0:21–0:25 to show cause and effect.
