I work in the auto industry. Cars have changed so much but at the end of the day they're still just internal combustion engines that spin wheels. I suppose EVs represent true innovation but I'm still dubious on their future.
> The 1916 Type 53 was the first car to use the same control layout as modern automobiles- with the gear lever and hand brake in the middle of the front two seats, a key started ignition, and three pedals for the clutch, brake and throttle in the modern order.
I've seen a clip on Top Gear where they drove some early cars and the controls were completely different like levers for acceleration and braking.
How long would it take someone familiar with this 108 year old Cadillac to learn how to drive a modern car from point A to point B? 1 minute?
