A prototype is __________________________________.

• the final design used for mass production.
• the simplified physical model used to test a design concept.
• the description of what kind of model was made.
• the process by which several designs are evaluated and discarded.

Autonomous means __________________________.

• No longer available due to discontinued production.
• items manufactured for the automotive industry.
• operating without direct human control.
