The world of cars is constantly changing. Safety and convenience requirements make manufacturers compete with innovation to make their model safer and more flexible in driving.
But many of today's indispensable equipment was not definitively imposed until long after its invention. At the Paris Car Show, each road picked eight unique innovations that changed the history of cars forever

| Top 8 Car-changing innovations |
(1) Seatbelt: 1896
Volvo has a patent for the current seatbelt (in the third version we still use today) in 1959. But his invention dates back to the 19th century, and it first appeared in the Paris-Marseille Auto Race in a bicycle race to avoid plankton getting pilots out. And it was only in 1973 that the Bahamas port became mandatory in France, but only before that. In the back, we're going to have to wait until 1990
(2) Ice survey: 1903
In 1903, the Glacier was patented by a hacker, Mary Anderson. But we have to wait for 1922 to adopt Cadillac as the standard. Since then, fortunately, little has changed from a manual mechanism to an electric mechanism since 1926. And then, in the year 2000, the inventions of a flat glacier will reduce the sound and improve visibility
3/ 1911 Operating Key
“Be careful about returning! "Today, that's a metaphor, but at the beginning of the car, the advice was very valuable: you had to start the engine with a motor vehicle, and that maneuver was the leading cause of the car accident, in fact, after a fatal accident, Cadillac actually downloaded Charles' inventor in Kettering to find a new system. This was in 1911 with the power operating system. So he's celebrating his 107th birthday
(4) Auxiliary management: 1931
This may not be surprising, but for 15 years the Automotive Administration has managed all the cars together. But in 1932, a system that amplifies its power and returns it to the driver's column to change direction (and to avoid the arm), and during World War II, Chrysler's large vehicles were perfected in 1951 with the Chrysler Imperial model
(5) Radial framework: 1946
This is a French invention we owe Michelin! The commercialization of the radioactive framework began in 1946 in 1949 and constitutes a real revolution. With three broken tubes on top and a mix of alignment, metal fiber and textiles that make up a very strong structure, it increases longevity and reduces vehicle energy consumption. It's no surprise that he still occupies most of the world's auto fleet so far.
(6) Flexible security costs: 1953
In 1981, Mercedes-Benz adopted this and his car-safe, inflatable driver, known as Airbag. It dates back to the 1950s, again by the United States, with its first patent in 1953. And then this will be perfected in 1968 by Allen Mail for General Motors and Ford. This activity was limited to the driver. .... Porter, the safe, hot, but a successful gamble for car safety
(7) Stop and Start: 1981
As the name indicates, “StockSmart” allows automated car shutdown and return to save fuel and reduce pollution. It was prepared by Volkswagen in France in 2004. First, I propose to Polo and then to golf - a business failure - and it will take a long time a decade and environmental concerns before Stub and Start succeed.
(8) Global Positioning System: 1995
The US Army developed this navigation system that works with geographic location in 1968. Immediate success was achieved in 1995 and has not been denied since. Although many vehicles are now equipped with a series of vehicles, the advent of smartphone applications has democratized their use, leaving road maps behind
