GM had the driver airbag in 1968.
Could have had it all of these years.
There was an article in newspaper and TV.
Lady purchased a used 1968 (or 1969)Oldsmobile Toronado.
Got into an accident. Airbag saved her life.
Come to find out GM made a bunch of these as test vehicles. Usually test vehicles never make it to the general public.
This one did. And decades later - this lady got it at a used car lot.
I'm not really sure what you mean. Most of those aren't new technologies.Push button start goes back a hundred years or so, navigation to the mid '90s, backup camera to the '50s. So yeah, they're not new and technologies we had in production cars much, much longer than ten years ago because they're not new.
Ha ha ha. Buick had them on 1954 models. Along with rain sensing folding roof that will come up when it rains.
GM had full electric car that they killed and now returned back to it.
Olden cars had TVs, even one with nuclear reactor as power source.
First electric hybrid was made in 1897. Lohner Porsche.
Here's my opinion.
They - or, the infamous nameless they - have tons of designs and ideas and developments. That they simply put on ice and sit on it. While they are bleeding minor changes as "complete redesign" to the public. Slowly thawing iced ideas.
Look at the last few years. Headlights. Headlights. headlights. LEDs. LEDs. LEDs. Complete redesign my ars.
