Careers in the Automotive Industry:      High tech automobile systems such as stability and traction control, cruise control, and variable valve timing were all unheard of 30 years ago. In order to have a career in the automobile industry, need to have skills in math, science, communications and technical areas.

The down side of this, however, is that if a criminal was using this vehicle to escape, they would be able to travel on both land and air, making it harder for the authorities to pursue them. W...

In January, 1886,  he obtained a patent for his automobile, which he called the "Benz Patent-Motorwagen". In August, 1888, Carl's wife drove the Motorwagen with her two sons. The first Petrol/Gasoline station is born from this. The "axial pivot steering system" helped solve the problem of steering two wheels simultaneously.When the two automobile companies merged, the new name was "Mercedes-Benz". Unlike most pioneers, Carl Benz lived to see his dream come true. H enry Ford:      Three of Henry's employees suggested that rather than have an assembly line where the workers moved from position to position, the items should be brought to them, then sent to the next worker in the line while they stayed put...
