At the beginning of the 20th century, the world was introduced to a new invention that would forever change transportation: the automobile. Since its introduction in the 1900s, the automobile has profoundly impacted the way we live, work and interact on a day-to-day basis. This book chronicles the evolution of automobile technology and the development of the automobile industry. Past, present and future are considered, giving a broad and comprehensive look at the role of the automobile in modern civilization. Also included is a look at the most significant cars of the 20th century.
