Eh, the difference is almost entirely in presentation. At the core a car today doesn't do significantly more than a car in 1962.

- onion2k 4y agoSuperficially they're similar in the "they both have 4 wheels and an engine" sense, but you could examine literally any part of a car today compared to one from the 1950s and find huge improvements. The efficiency, safety, comfort, tech, manufacturing... Everything is better.
- microtonal 4y agoI agree with the safety angle, but besides that driving a car from 2023 is not substantially different from the 1950s (in the sense that it opens up a lot of new possibilities).
