The cable strand is visible, the line of sight on that is actually looking DOWN the cable, it's just hard to see.

Can you not see the guy wire and shadow on the underside of the vehicle?
It appears the vehicle is against the pole and being held vertical by the guy wire.

Look at the blue fire hydrant in that pic and the others and you will see that the wires are running right toward you.  They are just to the right (barely discernable) of the telephone pole.

Ap Detroit-In an effort to marry technology to the automotive buying public, Ford in partnership with AOL
and Microsoft, are field-testing a car with a computer, enabling drivers and passengers to surf the
net.

The test vehicle, a Ford Escort, is used. One draw back is the lack of space for the CUP,
monitors, keyboards and the mouse. This lack of space means that a Celluar Phone cannot be
installed.

Says Ford Engineer and grandson of Alexander Graham Bell, C.W. Bell,” The lack of the Celluar
phone for use with the system, has hindered our testing. So we have now attached a phone jack to
the on-board computer system.”

He goes on to say that unfortunately, the cord supplied is only 4 feet long. Requiring the test
subjects to get a running start and try to hook the car on the phone line and then plug the jack into
the box on the pole.

The use of a AOL web browser and Microsoft Operating System has also caused some problems-"We have gotten a ton of porn and penis enlargement e-mails, causing driver distraction, and the OS has been crashing, making the need to turn the car off and then back on." Says Dr. Antia Cherry.

“Obviously we have some refining of the system before it hits showroom floors next year” Says
Ford CEO, Henry Ford the 4th.

Look at it more closely.  the wire in the last pic parallel the pole. you can see them where they go in front of the transformer.

As for a quote. im just speachless.

okay after a gazillion times, I see it. the line in the last picture actuall runs with the pole but its jus goin towards the 2nd pole. What finally gave it away was lookin at the actual transformer and seeing the BLACK line.
