Be flexible with you plan” (1999, p. 158). I have often times confused the vision with the plan to see it come to fruition. Stanley’s approach has assisted me in my understanding that the vision is not the same as the plan. This building block principle has also facilitated the need to learn from my critics. In the past, I would ignore my critics by dismissing their criticism. However, I have learned to sift through their criticism in search of any truth that may be applicable in completing the
"On the Road: 7 Car Safety Features You Never You Knew You Needed." NY Daily News. N.p., n.d. Web.
Being a member of the future generation of innovators and leaders, I feel that this research combined with my fascination of automobiles could lead to a clearer understanding of how I can help improve the automobile. In a world that is highly connected by roads, if the problem of using petroleum-based fuels is not solved, the entire gas-guzzling world could come to a standstill. This apocalyptic halt would cease all travel and we would be thrown back to a more primitive standing. However, if we research and find an alternative ahead of time, we would be able to transiti...

The most common safety feature of the car is its seat belt. Unfortunately this is also the most commonly ignored feature of the car. You can increase your chances of surviving a car crash by 50% just by putting on your seat belt. There are different types of seat belts. The most common one on cars that you buy are the three point seat belts. They stretch across your shoulder and your lap for better protection if you are in a crash. There is a lot of engineering that goes into seat belt, and the technology that we have today makes them as safe as they can possibly be. Your seat belt automatically secures you as so as the ignition is turned on. If your car comes to an abrupt stop, your seat belt stops you from moving forward because it has pretensioners that tighten the seat belt and prevent you from flying through the windshield. The seat belt is connected to a retractor mechanism that has a spring to rotate it. It has the technology to lock itself during a collision. It can either be triggered by the car or belt’s abrupt movement.
For all these features any car can still crash so this report aims to make you more aware of the safety aspects of modern cars and what role they play in driving.
The history of automobile audio dates back to the early 1900s. George Frost did the earliest car audio experimentation in 1922. The evolution of car radios began in the Transitone Th-1, in 1927. The first FM turner band in cars was introduced in 1952. In 1965 the 8-track player was introduced in Ford vehicles. In the early 1960’s, cassettes were introduced, but didn’t become popular until 1977. The FM band became more popular in the 1980s, and the first car compact disc players were introduced in the 1980s. In the early 2000s XM satellite was introduced to the nation. Car audio has made such an impact on vehicles over the last seven decades. Car audio evolved from the simplest forms to the most complex forms. The model of car audio sound systems varies into each and every model of vehicles.
Today, the automobile has become commonplace as most of us use them nearly every day. In America, places of work, leisure, and the home are exclusively linked and accessed by the car. Cars have become such a large part of our lives that we cannot imagine living without them, and we forget that there was a time not long ago when cars were not as widely used as they are today. Although the car was by no means invented in the 1950s, we do owe much of our way of life to the 50s automobile. Americans went crazy for the car in the post war era, creating a new subculture called "car culture." Millions of new cars flooded the streets and forced a complete overhaul of America's infrastructure. While car culture increased in significance and popularity, it has had a wide ranging impact as a result of a long list of side effects - more roads, parking lots, environmental issues, congestion, growth of suburbia, congestion in the city, and tourism. This car culture that developed in the 1950s has come to impact every aspect of the lives of the American people from the music they listen to, to the places they live.
"Mistakes will be made. But if a person is essentially right, the mistakes he or she makes are not as serious in the long run as the mistakes management will make if it undertakes to tell those in authority exactly how they must do their jobs. Management that is destructively critical when mistakes are made kills initiative."
One of the very first things a buyer should consider when looking for a car is what kind of car he/she wants. Many different factors can affect the car buying process. For one, the buyer must consider how big of a vehicle he/she wants and safety features like airbags, seatbelts, and working brakes. Itemizing a list of accessories can also help narrow down what kind of car to buy. While some people might prefer a Sedan with a large back seat and seat warmers, others may prefer an extreme luxury car with full stereo systems and miniature televisions. Every person has different tastes in accessories; luckily, there is a vehicle that can fit almost every personality. Most new models have the latest technology installed, although some of the “newer” used cars have the option of adding in those accessories. Once the...
When I drive to work in the morning, I turn the radio on to hear any information about traffic. The radio is my way of finding out, what is being broadcasted for me in the attempt to be aware of any problems on highway traffic accidents, and is there an alternate road I can take if needed for safety. The radio helps me in the morning for bett...
Even the standard package in my car seems excessive. Three years ago, remote locks, power adjustable side mirrors, and advanced heating systems were a luxury, but today they are standard package necessities. My cup holders are adjustable to a few sizes, accommodating everything from an eight ounce coffee to a gluttonous fifty-two ounce Extreme Big Gulp. The stereo has twenty plus presets (with the large panel display of the
I go to the same place at least four times a year with my friends. Instead of learning where we are going which is the same route we take every time, We have to use a GPS because our minds don 't pick up the surrounding areas or the road sign because we wait for the GPS to say take the right in 500 feet. As a new driver GPS are great to get around when you live in the country town like me. But the drawback when using a GPS were not learning anything because we choose to technology to get us to our destination instead of our brains. By doing this our brains are getting
A second point which favours the car is comfort. You can control the temperature, listen to the radio etc. And you always get a seat!
