We can drive 100,000 miles without changing the spark plugs. And somewhere in all these changes, the big whitewall tires faded away. Disc brakes and anti-lock braking became the rage. Who would have ever believed the sophisticated safety equipment that is now built into our cars of today. More and more we are cradled and protected in the cocoon of an automobile.
Cars have more computers than the first space shuttle.
Think about the heated seats, navigational systems, night vision, run flat tires, super audio sound systems, TV and VCR's just to mention a few innovations. Not only does it stretch the imagination to think how automotive technology will advance 100 years from now, but the next 10 years alone may prove to be amazing, too.
