Cars Keep Getting Better Year After Year.

By Zach Jacobs

Back when cars were first invented, they were a lot simpler in design. The ride was rough as well because of the roads that they traveled on and the design of the car itself. Everything we have done with cars since then has been to improve the performance, increase the safety, and produce more comfort in the ride.

Gauges were part of the first cars, though they were much simpler as well. The car gauges evolved over time and have continued to improve with each new car. In fact, there are not as many gauges as they used to be in our cars. Most of them have been replaced by a warning light that alerts a driver to problems as they arise.

In order to improve the performance of our cars and help to reduce the emissions that they put out, engine computers were invented. These computers help to regulate the flow of the air and fuel so that we get the most power with the least amount of emissions possible.

Because the engine computer was such a success, the evolution of it turned into a full power train computer module. The main difference in the two is that the engine computer controls only the things about the engine while the power train module controls other aspects of the power train in addition to the engine

Safety has always been a big concern among those who produce cars. They have used accident data to help them improve the safety features of our cars. All safety features have come as a result of this, including seat belts, air bags, anti lock brakes, and many other features. Safety continues to be among the top concerns of car manufacturers.

The one area that we have improved that has been the biggest reason for cars becoming more complex is in the area of comfort. Some of the things that we have in our cars as a result of demanding more comfort are air, power locks and windows and many more. While these things have complicated the car, they have also improved the car.

While cars were once a luxury they have become a necessity for most everyone today. This is especially true in farm country where everyday living depends on the use of a vehicle. Because there are far more of us driving cars than did when they first came out, it make complete sense that we have demanded things be more comfortable in a car.

As has happened in the past, we will continue to make improvements to our cars to make them safer, more efficient and more comfortable. What kind of improvements would you like to see in a car that you drive? - 21392

One of the largest evolutions in the car, aside from car gauges, was engine computers. The use of the computer in our cars has permitted for lots of strides to our rides.
