Epcot is an acronym for "Environmental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow." It was built in 1978 as part of Walt's vision
to bring the foreseeable future to the masses. Epcot is comprised of Future World and the World Showcase. The former demonstrates
exciting and informative technologies that are in development for the future, while the later is a cultural experience, letting visitors
browse through lands that are designed to immerse them with the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of many different geographies in a
short period of time.

and videos on the different kinds of tests a car goes through before
going into production. Then they board a 6 passenger test vehicle for a
mile-long ride, and experience steep inclines, rough roads, and brake
tests before the ultimate head-on collision where passengers bust
through a wall and shoot around the track at 65 miles per hour!
