Answer» Safety has improved with each generation of car. And one of the most innovative safety breakthroughs ever has been airbags. And, believe it or not, airbags are still a relatively new innovation. Airbags have continued to evolve over the years, and they are now responsible for saving thousands of lives each year. Power Steering and Power Brakes It used to be a lot more difficult to drive a car, and it required considerable strength to steer and apply the brakes. This was in the age before power steering and power brakes. Anti-Lock Brakes The computerized braking systems help drivers maintain control of their vehicle while stopping, and stabilize cars, preventing them from rolling over on impact. This technology revolutionized the automotive industry, and today ABS is the standard in all makes and models of vehicles. Automatic Transmissions Automatic transmissions are now largely the standard in cars. Manual transmissions that use clutch pedals and gear shifting are still available, but have largely been replaced by automatic transmissions that shift gears electronically and automatically for drivers. Quick and wireless charging Fully autonomous driving systems Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication Cars with artificial intelligence. |
