How does the author use foreshadowing in The Caves of Steel?

In the section titled, Roundtrip On An Expressway, Lije meets his new partner for the murder case, R. Daneel Olivaw. This is a strangely rare circumstance, as Lije has never worked with an non-human officer before. In context, this initial meeting foreshadows Lije's growing discomfort, as he is intimidated by the fact Daneel, a robot, might be a better police officer than himself.
