Who invented it? (Car connoisseur quiz)
12/22/2023
Over the last century and a half, it was only thanks to engineers who were as inventive as they were tireless that the automobile was able to develop from a rattling motorized carriage into a modern means of transport. Thanks to the invention of the electric starter, for example, we no longer have to exert ourselves physically every time we start the engine and most drivers today still have both thumbs. We may even owe our lives to the seatbelt. And thanks to lane departure warning and emergency brake assistants, we can finally play around on our cell phones or the radio at 200 km/h without any danger.
Today, we take the older inventions in particular for granted. But we usually don't even know who came up with them - or how old they actually are. For example, would you have known that the first electric seat heating was installed in a 1965 Cadillac? Or that the intermittent windshield wiper was introduced by Ford in 1969? You see. That's why we've selected 16 innovations for you to put your knowledge of the history of automotive technology to the test.
