Power Windows:
Explanation: Power windows are a feature in modern vehicles that allow the driver and passengers to control the opening and closing of the windows with the push of a button. Instead of manually cranking a handle to roll the window up or down, power windows use an electric motor to move the window glass within the door frame. This feature adds convenience and ease of use to the vehicle, as it eliminates the need for manual effort to adjust the windows.
