Disappearing Acts
The car industry is one of constant evolution and has been since the very first horseless carriage hit the road in 1885. And between now and 2030, it’s about to undergo its biggest change in decades as we move away from internal combustion engines and into the era of the electric car - something that has been predicted for decades but is now finally making its breakthrough.
It’ll take some getting used to, of course, but we’ve seen big changes before. Who really laments the carburettor and the manual choke, for example, other than a few died-in-the-wool classic enthusiasts who enjoy setting them up by ear alone?
What’s surprising, though, is how modern some of the features that are now becoming obsolete really are. Features that haven’t long since been invented, but are already falling by the wayside due to their built-in obsolescence.
