20th CENTURY

In the 1920’s they started to evolve and install synchromesh transmissions for easier gear shifting.

Four-wheel hydraulic brake systems; improved carburetors; shatterproof glass; balloon tires; heaters; and mechanically operated windshield wipers

In the 1930s car engines and bodies became large and luxurious.

20th CENTURY Between the 1950’s and 1960’s American

manufacturers started making smaller cars, but their engine size and horsepower increased.

By the 1980’s Technology started to grow in America because of new Japanese innovations and imports.

As the 21st century progressed, cars improve and computer technology began to be utilized in cars. Cars today are now mostly controlled by computer chips. The computer chip manages most of the car systems today.

For instance, the Anti-lock Brake System ( ABS ) is controlled by a computer chip telling, them when to work.

They also have GPS systems in cars, that help provide directions and guides drivers, enabling a GPS system operator to locate the vehicle, map its location, and if necessary, direct repair or emergency workers to the scene.

Car’s are now made of lighter materials that are quite very strong.
