Innovation of Cars
By Adam Braulick
There have been many changes to cars since the first car was made. The first cars were sold in 1886 and 1893. The creator of the first car was a German man named Karl Benz.
The first car only had three wheels. Today the average car has four wheels or more. When the first car was invented they were not safe. They didn’t have good balance so many rolled or tipped. They also didn’t have that many safety things to protect you if you got in a crash.
The average car in 2023 has things that tell you if you are about to hit something. A lot of people died in cars losing control. The first car had sterling levers and now we have steering wheels. The 1886 car was sold at a price of $1,000. In 2022 the average price of a car is $33,000. The car had a leather bench for the seat. Now the average car has 5 seats or more. They first put blinkers on cars in 1938. Tires used to be made out of leather, not rubber. They first added heaters to the car in 1890 but air conditioning was not added until 1939. Today the AC and heaters on cars is very high tech. The sunroof was first invented in 1938. Now cars can have many sunroofs.
If you didn’t upgrade your car to get windshields on your car you had to wear goggles so your eyes didn’t get hit by things. Now every car has a windshield and windows. They had headlights but they usually burnt out in the rain or snowstorms. Headlights can be different colors and they usually don’t burn out unless they get old.
Many early cars didn’t have many protections so they were very dangerous so many people died driving them. Now cars have very high tech safety features and things to protect you if you get in a car crash. Many old cars just had radios. The average car today has touch screens and many more features to make it easier to do things while driving. So you don’t get distracted from the road and get in a crash. Many old cars ran on gas and now some cars run on electricity.
Now some trucks are made for pulling big things and there are very big trucks called semi-trucks that have 16 wheels for pulling huge things. Some cars are used for racing and can get up to very high speeds.
I can’t wait to see the cars in the future. I hope that cars will fly so I can experience that. I also hope that eventually cars will be even more safe so fewer people die in car accidents. I hope you had fun reading my essay!
