On Cars.com I found a page that lists the Top 10 Innovations in recent times. This list of innovations goes back about 30 years and ranges from radios to fuel injection. The top 10 innovations are antilock brakes, airbag advancements, key fobs, fold-flat rear seats, electronic stability systems, dvd players, heated and cooled seats, tilt/telescoping steering wheels and adjustable pedals, navigation systems, and hybrid drivetrains. I am doing my research paper on autombile innovation so I found this to be an interesting list. Innovations like the key fobs, dvd player, and heated/cooled seats have helped make the driving experience more convenient and comfortable for consumers. These are the kinds of technologies that, when first introduced, can give a company competitive advantage over other manufacturers. I was especially interested in electronic stability systems, which was one of the focuses in my paper. ESC is a computerized system that can apply the individual breaks automatically when the car is cornering or swerving on the road. People can drive beyond a car's capabilities and end up losing control and crashing. This innovative technology can prevent or assist these kinds of situation and decrease the number of accidents by a large amount. This technology, among many others, is one of the amazing innovations that has been introduced in the automobile industry.
