Which vehicle component provides visibility while driving in the rain?
- Brakes
- Airbag
- Seat belt
- Windshield wiper
A windshield wiper is a device used to remove rain, snow, ice, washer fluid, water, or other debris from a vehicle's front window. Almost all motor vehicles are equipped with one or more such wipers, which are usually a legal requirement. A wiper generally consists of a metal arm; one end pivots and the other end has a long rubber blade attached to it. The arm is powered by a motor, often an electric motor, although pneumatic power is also used for some vehicles. The blade is swung back and forth over the glass, pushing water, other precipitation, or any other impediments to visibility from its surface.

What color are gas station road signs in the U.S.?
- Red
- Green
- Yellow
- Blue
The roads we use every day are peppered with signage and, for the most part, people readily recognize what they mean. One of the main factors behind providing clarity is the use of color and each road sign color has specific meanings attached to it. Another common sight along highways is the blue signs that list services such as hotels, restaurants, rest stops, gas stations, and so on. These signs are valuable for motorists who spend lots of time on the road, including truck drivers who spend most of their time far from home in unfamiliar states.

I-90 was numbered in 1957, reflecting its status as the northernmost transcontinental route of the system.

Which U.S. state features a peach on its license plate?
- California
- Florida
- Colorado
- Georgia
While "Peach State" has not always appeared on Georgia tags, since 1990 Georgia license plates have contained a color image of a peach. In 1939 the Georgia "Peach State" license plate was authorized. At various times, Georgia has been labeled as the "Empire State of the South," "Goober State," "State of Adventure" and "Peach State." Yet Georgia does not have an official nickname. However, the General Assembly came close to officially recognizing "Peach State" in 1939 when Gov. E.D. Rivers signed legislation authorizing the State Revenue Commission to issue automobile license plates that "advertise, popularize, and otherwise promote Georgia as 'The Peach State.'"

Which animal often blocks traffic in Yellowstone National Park?
- Coyote
- Elk
- Bighorn sheep
- Bison
In Yellowstone, bison are so accustomed to cars and asphalt roads that they seem to know the right-of-way. Driving slowly behind a group of bison plodding along a two-lane road, you can certainly maneuver around them whenever it’s safe. Bison, when they do travel on the Grand Loop or other roads, usually don’t stop in the middle of the road, either. However, our city slicker impulses may be to beep the horn if one bison decides to hold everyone up. Be patient for bison to make their way off the road, or just simply go around them, but please save the honking for the city.

Which term is more commonly used for a self-governing car?
- Autonomic
- Autonomous
- Automatic
- Ergonomic
A self-driving car, also known as an autonomous car, driverless car, or robotic car (robo-car), is a car that is capable of traveling without human input. Self-driving cars use sensors to perceive their surroundings, such as optical and thermographic cameras, radar, lidar, ultrasound/sonar, GPS, odometry, and inertial measurement units. Control systems interpret sensory information to create a three-dimensional model of the surroundings. Based on the model, the car identifies appropriate navigation paths, and strategies for managing traffic controls (stop signs, etc.) and obstacles.

What U.S. state has a cowboy riding a bronco on its license plates?
- Texas
- Arizona
- Arkansas
- Wyoming
The Bucking Horse and Rider is a registered trademark of the U.S. state of Wyoming. In 1936, Wyoming trademarked the image for the state's license plates. However, the state's usage of the logo can be traced back to as early as 1918. Wyoming is popularly known as the "Cowboy State," in part because of the use of the bucking bronco as its symbol. The University of Wyoming at Laramie athletic teams are nicknamed the Cowboys and Cowgirls, both of which use the bucking horse and rider logo on their uniforms.
