Have you seen the movie I, Robot? Will Smith gets chased by these huge trucks that basically carried new robots and swapped them out with old robots that were then boxed up in containers. That thing looks like one of those except designed to pick up Cyber Trucks to be boxed up on containers or perhaps USED as trash containers.
Hmm… I’m gonna guess that this is some kind of wheeled vehicle based on sound. Typically a tracked vehicle produces a continual squeaking sound, as it rolls, which comes from metal to metal contact between the center guides on the tracks and the metal rims on the road wheels.
The engine rpm is telling as well. The speed of travel seems pretty quick and engine rpm sounds fast. It sounds consistent with typically light wheeled vehicles. I would suspect a tracked vehicle, being heavier would produce a higher rpm sound as the engine would have to work harder to go fast while carrying its weight.
A tracked vehicle could run on pavement without damaging the road, so long as the tracks use rubber pads. However, even with rubber pads, slight steering inputs and rubber compression would deposit some rubber onto the pavement. Of course it’s dark so it might not be visible.
Now is it a tank? It’s hard to say. The basic dimensions of the box doesn’t appear to account for a larger 125mm-ish barrel pointing rearwards, in the travel lock.

I bet it’s just the new street sweeper and they are laughing at everybody for thinking it’s something cool
