Work in the Car

So here's a quick video demonstrating the change in work and net work while in a car. The car is on the highway and occasionally increases/decreases in height above the ground, increasing the car's potential energy (and my potential energy for that matter). Also, sometimes, the car accelerates faster or slower changing the kinetic energy of the car. All these changes in energy result in Work!
