Which of the following examples of technical writing includes a

metaphor?
The modern automobile is becoming an adult, and it no longer needs you
to tell it what to do.
Soon the automobile will become less personal as cars begin thinking and
driving themselves.
O Computer-governed automobiles will soon be dropping passengers off at
the curb, parking themselves at some distant lot, and waiting to be
summoned by their owners.
A car without a steering wheel will seem peculiar for a while, but the
advantages will be clear as our roads get safer and our transportation
system becomes more efficient.

Answer: The first example

Explanation: “The modern automobile is becoming an adult” is an example of a metaphor. This is because the automobile is being compared to a human growing and becoming an adult and not needing any support because the automobile is evolving / growing into something more advanced than it used to be a while ago as new technologies arise.
