Nowadays, the automobile industry is developing rapidly, and many car companies will upgrade their models slightly every year, change the design every 3 years, and replace them every 5-6 years. Through regular innovation, we can keep a car up to date, maintain its market competitiveness, and constantly attract new consumers to come and buy.
In the past 20 years, there have been earth-shaking changes in the automobile industry manufacturing, and the design of automobiles, materials, active and passive safety configurations, entertainment facilities, and high-tech applications are completely different from before. In the past, cars were mainly based on tool attributes; now, cars are not only a means of transportation, but also have to play more potential, such as entertainment attributes, modification potential, expansion of functions, and even some models will represent a part of the population's attitude to life and a personality of self-expression.
Now the car, many functions have been from the previous pure mechanical operation to electronic, if you have seen these functions on the car, then you must be after 80 or 90 people.
# Tape player #
In the Internet era, since the popularity of MP3 players, the frequency of use of tape players and CD players has gradually declined, and the audio-visual stores that used to be often seen on the street have long disappeared. Now even tens of thousands of yuan of cars are also equipped with multimedia entertainment systems, not only can use Bluetooth to connect mobile phones, as well as CarPlay and other mobile phone mapping functions, there are many car machine systems are also equipped with intelligent networking systems, directly online listening to radio, music, listening to books and so on. As a result, tape players are long gone, and CD players are gradually being removed from the car console.
# Car phone #
In many old luxury cars, it can also be seen that there will be a telephone at the central armrest, which can achieve wireless communication in the car after inserting the early SIM card. This is when the early mobile phones were just introduced, the price was high, so the mobile phone was not as popular as it is now, and because the early mobile phones were not durable, the users who drove or rode such luxury cars were generally not rich or expensive, and the business was busy. Therefore, in the early days, many luxury cars were equipped with car phones.
# Telescopic antenna #
In the past, in order for the radio to receive better radio waves, so many cars are equipped with retractable antennas, and even some models have designed two retractable antennas behind the car, making this antenna a tool for judging the position of the car when reversing. But now many cars have switched to shark fin antennas or hidden antennas, with the development of science and technology, many people may find that even if the car is driving in the tunnel, the radio can hear very clearly.
# Hand cranked glass window #
More than a decade ago, many high-grade family cars began to gradually use electric sliding window machines, and some cheaper cars were still using hand-cranked glass windows at that time, and now this configuration is almost invisible, only some commercial models with lower configurations are still using hand-cranked glass windows. Modern cars not only have electric glass lifting, but also have anti-pinch hand and one-button lifting functions, which greatly improve the convenience when using daily.
# Mechanical lock bolt #
I don't know if you have such a memory, when you want to get off, the driver should turn around and pull up the door lock bolt near the B pillar, and then the car with the central control lock function will unlock all the doors, which is convenient for passengers in other seats to get on and off the car. And now many cars have electronic locks, even electric door, the speed reaches a certain value of the door will be automatically locked, there are many cars equipped with electronic door locks, as long as you press the button on the door can open the door.
# Steering wheel or gear lever lock #
In the past, social security was not as safe as it is now, so there were many people who did not do business and had the "crooked mind" of stealing cars. Therefore, in the past, in order to improve the anti-theft performance of the car, many owners would install gear locks or steering wheel locks in the car, and some were locks that locked the steering wheel and clutch. However, now the car's anti-theft system can be greatly upgraded, car theft is more difficult, and with the overall security environment improved, there are "sky eye" cameras everywhere, even if the car is stolen, it can not run out of the legal net, so it is almost impossible to see the owner to lock the steering wheel and gear handle.
