The invention of vehicles has had a profound impact on society, transforming various sectors and aspects of daily life. In agriculture, vehicles like tractors and plows have significantly increased efficiency, reducing both time and labor costs for farmers.
What has the invention of vehicles done
for our society?
Negative Impacts
The amount of lives lost due to absent minded
drivers. roughly 36,096 deaths occurred in the USA in 2019.
The destruction of multiple Environments to
construct highways and roads for the growing demand for travel via car.
The emissions from cars have been shown to
damage out Ozone layer. this is a big contributor to global warming. Here is where our Moral judgment is tested, on one hand its become a norm to travel by car but on the other we need to change those habits to slow down the rate of greenhouse gasses being emitted.
The impect on an average persons
life
The commute to work was a lot easier so people were able to live further away and still work the same job. this aided in the ability for the suburbs to grow
In the 1920's when cars were at a huge spike in
popularity it lead to the changes of many family
dynamics. not having the independence to come and go as you please no longer needing to be stuck at home
Now with the freedom to travel anywhere and
anytime you want people learned to have a sense
of independence
Modernization of factories, laws, and
use of assembly lines
The invention of an assembly line allowed for the
automation of many objects we use today like smart phones, clothing, and even processed drinks/food
laws and regulation for driving were put in place
to protect the general public. like regulations behind
driving under the influence of different substances
With the invention of Vehicles new laws were put
in place to regulate them like the creation of Drivers
Licenses
Aviation
With the development of Aviation it helped
grow many new industries and abilities like:
Connection with family and friends who live
far away
The ability to explore new cultures
moving currency around allowing for economic growth
Tourism
After the conquering of fast land travel we took
to the skies removing so many more limitations and saving time well traveling to far away lands
Using vehicles in agriculture
Plows to help till the land cutting the amount of
time and labor it would normally need to tend to a
field prepping it for planting crops
The use of tractors to help harvest crop yields
saves a lot of time for the farmers as well as cuts
back on labor cost
Women's rights movements
The the ability to quickly travel around Women
could also start applying for jobs and getting out of the house to explore "cultural scenes"
The ability for women to safely and freely travel was the first major step in the movement for women's rights
With the invention of cars women
had the ability to travel and gain some
sort of freedom from the family

Please read the mindmap below for
further impacts and the snowball effect
of the invnetion of vehicles
Modern Day
The invention of now fully electric and hybrid cars
were made to help combat the issue cars caused in
the first place which was the mass amounts of pollution caused by a majority of the population owning and using cars.
The significance of cars can be seen all through
out our society with new innovative roads and technology to the ability to be with people who live hundreds if not thousands of kilometers away from each other.
The invention of self driving cars allow for
safer travels minimizing vehicular accidents by
at least 33% but as high as 90%
1960
By now every family had at least 1 car but
during the 60's it was normalized for every individual who could drive owned a car reflected by the 25million registrations during those years. this is a clear showing of the perspective of our society changing for it to be a norm to own a car.
1920
The use of assembly lines are now main stream
for the production of cars
The popularity of cars lead to the growth of
the suburbs around this time as well as family
dynamic changes
1908
The Ford Motor Company develops the
Model T and the assembly line to produce them
1901
Engineer and business man Henry Ford
improves on Mr.Benz's design
This Kicked off the snowball effect That cars
would end up having on our developing world
1885
German technician Karl Benz creates the
first rudimentary car
