The modern highway that cars ride on came from the autobaun in Germany under Hitler's direction. Hitler wanted it to use to transport things quickly in Germany. The Americans found it helpful in quickly going after the Germans in WWII. President Eisenhower took the idea to the US and instituted the highway system you see here today.
