"Do you think Dream Maker will accept outside investment?" Elliot said. "I don't think so."
"It's hard to say. Although they have already made the car, who knows what will happen to maintenance and safety later on? If you stay for a few days, we'll arrange for a meeting with their managers. With you there, they would surely give face to you."
Elliot thought about it for a while before agreeing to it.
He drove the car back. He wanted to fully feel the difference between that car and an ordinary car.
Driving the car was comparable to driving an ordinary car, but Elliot found that it was an easier driving experience. It would be easier to learn how to drive this car compared to the average cars on the road today.
No wonder they had said the Dream Maker was going to make an ordinary car obsolete.
However, since Dream Maker cars were mainly targeting the middle to upper range of the market, they would not compete with the lower-end-range ordinary cars.
After the test drive, the person in charge pre-ordered a car.
Elliot looked at the promotional brochure of the first batch of cars. He decided to order one for Avery. He picked a red one for her.
Although she had given up on Tate Industries, she surely had not forgotten her late father's wishes.
Someone had completed what Jack Tate could not do.
Elliot thought back to when other people talked about Jack, and how they had said he was an impractical man and a daydreamer, and how he was doomed to failure.
Jack had indeed failed, but his failure was not because of him being impractical or because he was a daydreamer, but because he had passed away due to his illness.
If he had not passed away, he might have successfully built a self-driving car before Dream Maker.
After they ordered the cars, they came out of the Dream Maker building.
"Mommy, when are they coming back? Is Hayden coming back?"
"I don't know when they are coming back. You can call Daddy and ask him." Avery had only heard from Hayden that they had met. Avery did not question him on the matter, as Hayden did not volunteer any information. It was an indication that the meeting had not gone well.
"Forget about it! I don't really care about them! Once my work ends, I'll head to Bridgedale to look for Hayden." Layla looked at Avery. "Mommy, you should come with me then." "Layla, when your work ends, it will almost be your birthday,” Avery said. "Did your Daddy say that he will throw you a party?"
"No!" Layla grumbled softly. "I don't want a birthday party unless I get to spend it with Hayden."
"Then, we'll celebrate at home. What do you want for your birthday gift? I'll buy it for you," Avery said dotingly.
Layla had almost everything, so she started pondering troublingly.
At that moment, Avery's phone rang.
