Invention of Vehicles
(Timeline)

1885

German technician Karl Benz creates the
first rudimentary car

1901

This Kicked off the snowball effect That cars
would end up having on our developing world

Engineer and business man Henry Ford
improves on Mr.Benz's design

1908

The Ford Motor Company develops the
Model T and the assembly line to produce them

1920

The popularity of cars lead to the growth of
the suburbs around this time as well as family
dynamic changes

The use of assembly lines are now main stream
for the production of cars

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.

Modern Day

The invention of self driving cars allow for
safer travels minimizing vehicular accidents by
at least 33% but as high as 90%

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 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.

further impacts and the snowball effect
of the invnetion of vehicles

What has the invention of vehicles done
for our society?

Women's rights movements

With the invention of cars women
had the ability to travel and gain some
sort of freedom from the family

The ability for women to safely and freely travel was the first major step in the movement for women's rights

The the ability to quickly travel around Women
could also start applying for jobs and getting out of the house to explore "cultural scenes"

Using vehicles in agriculture

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

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

Aviation

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

With the development of Aviation it helped
grow many new industries and abilities like:

Tourism

moving currency around allowing for economic growth

The ability to explore new cultures

Connection with family and friends who live
far away

Modernization of factories, laws, and
use of assembly lines

With the invention of Vehicles new laws were put
in place to regulate them like the creation of Drivers
Licenses

laws and regulation for driving were put in place
to protect the general public. like regulations behind
driving under the influence of different substances

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

The impect on an average persons
life

Now with the freedom to travel anywhere and
anytime you want people learned to have a sense
of independence

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

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

Negative Impacts

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 destruction of multiple Environments to
construct highways and roads for the growing demand for travel via car.

The amount of lives lost due to absent minded
drivers. roughly 36,096 deaths occurred in the USA in 2019.
