FWIW, he's pouring a cup of coffee - not booze  :)

Some sort of endurance drive, such as driving "X" miles, and/or "X" hours, without stopping?

The distance travelled was not great; I don't think it was timed.

Far from that. The drive was less than 2.5 km.

Why would someone need coffee to drive for less than 2.5 km ? I'm scratching my head...

Was he suffering from narcolepsy ?

To my knowledge, he was not so afflicted

More deductive reasoning is needed. :)

Is this Martin Bacon, the creator of multiple coffee powered vehicles?

Not Mr Bacon (nor Mr. Coffee). The automobile the puzzle subject used in this feat was absolutely ordinary and conventional.

For part of his drive, his vehicle will be within a structure.

No - I think that would have been frowned upon.
