1911 Electric starter introduced:
Charles Kettering made the electric starter. They use to have to be started by hand cranking. People said no one could make some thing small enough to fit under a car’s hood to start it. His starters came in the 1912 Cadillacs. I found it interesting because I never knew who invented it and when they came out.
1926 First power steering system:
Francis Wright Davis uses a Pierce-Arrow to introduce the first power steering system. It works by integrating the steering linkage with a hydraulics system. I chose that one because power steering helps to make the car very luxuries for driving.
1950's Cruise control:
Developed
Ralph Teeter, a blind man, senses by ear that cars on the Pennsylvania Turnpike travel at uneven speeds, which he believes leads to accidents. Through the 1940s he develops a cruise control mechanism that a driver can set to hold the car at a steady speed. Unpopular when generally introduced in the 1950s, cruise control is now standard on more than 70 percent of today’s automobiles.
1966 Electronic fuel injection system:
Developed
An electronic fuel injection system is developed in Britain. Fuel injection delivers carefully controlled fuel and air to the cylinders to keep a car’s engine running at its most efficient. I picked this because fuel injection was a big part of the cars now and fuel efficiency.
1985 Antilock braking system (ABS):
Available on American cars
The Lincoln becomes the first American car to offer an antilock braking system (ABS), which is made by Teves of Germany. ABS uses computerized sensing of wheel movement and hydraulic pressure to each wheel to adjust pressure so that the wheels continue to move somewhat rather than "locking up" during emergency braking.
