which world?

"There can be more than one philosophical reason for riding a W-11. Here, for instance, is one: the world appears different. It might seem obvious, because every vehicle gives a new view of the world, and establishes a different link with the world. However, the W-11 experience teaches you that you are IN that world upon which you look out from all other vehicles."
