1 Self-Driving Cars “L et’s go, Uncle Gus! I don’t want tomiss any of this,” called Emmett as he hurried across the parking lot ahead of his uncle. Emmett and his uncle Gus were spending Saturday afternoon at the International Auto Show. The young car fan had read that there were all sorts of things to see—the newest models from carmakers, concept vehicles, a distracted driving simulator, and what Emmett was most interested in: the solar powered cars. He had been waiting for this day for weeks. After Uncle Gus paid their entrance fee, he and Emmett entered into the hall. People, cars, and posters were everywhere. “Where do you want to go first?” asked Gus. Emmett looked at the map of the displays he had picked up. “The first thing I want to see is this right here,” he said, pointing at the map. “The self-driving car exhibit.”
