10 Technologies Your Car Can't Run WithoutBy Nathan Chandler
Editor: Rachel Frank  The modern automobile is a keystone of human civilization. Without cars and trucks and all of their wheeled brethren, our systems of transportation — and our society — would look very different. When properly maintained, our cars generally perform their jobs dependably, making them easy to take for granted. And your car really is just a bunch of different technologies combined to work in an integrated fashion. Often, those technologies are a beautiful symphony of synchronization, efficiency and power. Together, they propel you to the grocery store or to grandma's house without too much worry on your part. But when one critical component of a car fails or malfunctions, we're treated to an up-close and often unpleasant reminder of how important the various pieces and parts of each vehicle really are. And we're also reminded of how expensive it can be to repair or replace little components or even entire systems. We'll highlight 10 of the most vital components and systems of your car to show you just how critical they are. You'll get a better idea of just how important one part or system can be — and how driving would be a very different experience without it. |
