Actually, Autobahn would NOT apply. It is a German word and does not have the same meaning as most people would think. Germans do not consider this word to have a prefix. If this did have a prefix, then in German, it would literally mean "train that runs by itself". But, in German it is not considered a prefix, and is their word for "Highway".
