AUTOMOBILES
The world has changed a lot since the last decades of the 19th century: with the invention of the automobile, place have become closer and man has traveled farther.
In the 20th century, automobiles brought deep changes to the cities. Cars crowded the streets and took the place of the old carriages.
The 50’s and the 60’s represented the greatest days of the automobile. But an oil crisis occurred during the 70’s. Gasoline became more expensive. Large automobile companies worried about it and began to work on the ‘car of the future’.
Cars in the future will be more economical, lighter, and smaller than they are today. They will use different forms of energy: electric, solar, and many others. These new forms of energy will cause less pollution than gasoline and will be cheaper.
