The position of a car driving along a straight road at time $t$ in minutes is given by the function $y = s(t)$ that is pictured below. The car's position function has units measured in thousands of feet. For instance, the point $(2, 4)$ on the graph indicates that after $2$ minutes, the car has traveled $4000$ feet.

In everyday language, describe the behavior of the car over the provided time interval. In particular, you should carefully discuss what is happening on each of the time intervals $[0, 1]$, $[1, 2]$, $[2, 3]$, $[3, 4]$, and $[4, 5]$, plus provide commentary overall on what the car is doing on the interval $[0, 12]$.
