I visited Rustic Tri View Drive-In situated in North Smithfield, Rhode Island. It's an iconic outdoor cinema that takes you back in time. The place is well maintained and has been around since 1951. It maintains a classic '50s vibe. The sound comes through speakers mounted on your car window or from a portable FM radio. I parked my spaceship and transformed into my drone mode to get some awesome aerial shots of the entire place during sunset. I found out that this place was a farm years ago, and now they host events and movies. The screen is approximately 90 feet long with two smaller screens set up so that all the cars have a great view. I watched the movie Grease, which is set in the '50s and blends very well with the ambiance of the place. I found it fascinating how the humans in the other cars reacted to different scenes in the movie. I have analyzed that the humans use movies as a form of nostalgia and temporarily escape their reality and rekindle past memories of their youth. I found Rustic Tri View Drive-In's experience unique, it's an ideal place for robots to understand human behavior.
