revolucionar la manera de desplazarse//Innovaciones aplicadas en las carreteras
que en un futuro podrán crear música para advertir a los conductores de un
peligro en la vía de su exceso de velocidad, convertirán a los vehículos en
fuentes de energía para encender las farolas de las carreteras y se podrán cargar
