Deref Trait | Rust Language

Use the Deref trait - Ch 15 from the Rust Docs. In this video I do a fresh code example to demonstrate how to dereference a "Car" struct that contains a generic type T.

Dereferencing smart pointers is necessary to interact with the underlying data they encapsulate. It allows you to access, transfer ownership, invoke methods, and borrow the data according to the specific behaviour and guarantees provided by the smart pointer.

! Note, my instance of Car was called box_car, this name was from earlier code, it's not a Box, it's just a name.
