The origin of the name "car"
A car, called "Sedan" in the United States, refers to a car that is used to carry people and their belongings, and the seats are arranged between two axles. As one of our most common means of transportation, do you know why it is called this name? Let me talk about the origin of the English name "Sedan". Long before the invention of the automobile, there was the term "Sedan". It refers to a luxury carriage used by European aristocrats. It is not only exquisitely decorated, but also enclosed to prevent wind, rain and dust, and improve safety. After it was introduced to the United States in the 18th century, only the wealthy in a few large cities such as New York and Philadelphia were eligible to enjoy it.
When the American car king Ford introduced the Model T in 1908, the car changed from an open type to a closed type, and its comfort and safety were greatly improved. It was a remarkable progress at that time. Ford wanted to highlight his great improvements when selling, so he had the idea to call his "closed car" "Sedan" to give car buyers a kind of psychological satisfaction. Let me talk about the origin of the Chinese name. In fact, the term "car" has long existed in ancient my country, which refers to a sedan chair with a horse drawn by a mule. When Western cars entered China in large numbers, it was the time when closed square cars became popular in the West. At that time, the shape of the car was as glorious as the "car" in ancient my country. Therefore, people call the cars at that time "sedans".
The first car driver was a woman
As we all know, the world's first car was invented by German mechanical engineer Karl Benz in 1885, but Benz was not the first to put his invented car on the road! The reason is: the relevant government departments forbid him to test the car, because they think that if the test is successful, a lot of cars will be produced, then a lot of gasoline will be used, and the road will be damaged! Seeing that Bentz's ideals are going to be in vain. Fortunately, his wife, Beta Benz, was a courageous and knowledgeable woman. In 1888, she completely ignored the obstruction of the local government. Without Carl Benz’s knowledge, she had not received any driving training. Next, with her two children, they drove the world's first car invented by Karl Benz and successfully drove a distance of 190KM. As a result, she became the first car driver in the world.
The heaviest car in the world
After the service life of all products composed of precision machinery, the price of their parts is often much higher than the product itself. This is true for airplanes, and so are cars.The whole car is a treasure. The scrapped car will be completely disassembled according to the structure. The aluminum parts will be processed and recycled. The thermoplastic parts can be recycled and processed into recycled plastics. The parts of the power/transmission unit will be recycled. Flow to second-handAccessoriesMarket, the recycling rate is extremely high.
When jumping from a car to escape, jumping forward has a higher mortality rate than jumping backward
In an emergency, if you decide to jump out in the direction of the car, you will definitely die, because the body leaving the car will obey the "law of inertia" as the car speeds forward, the body will accelerate, and then fall to the ground severely , If you jump backwards, the speed will be relatively canceled, and some impact force will be reduced when landing. In addition, if you jump forward, your body will lean back when you hit the ground, the risk of hitting the back of the head is greater, and the death rate is also higher.
The only Ferrari in the world
Back in the 80s. In order to show his personality, a Saudi prince wanted to drive a distinctive super sports car in Europe. He specially invited the famous car design master Mikalotti to customize a long luxury sports car for him. The name of this car is Ferrari. 400I. The 400I is a small facelift of the Ferrari 400. The biggest difference between the 400I and the 400 is that it uses Bosch’s K-Jetroric electronic fuel injection system to replace the old one.Carburetorsystem. This also means that Ferrari has entered the era of electronic injection engines. It seems that the huge sums of money made by local tyrants can not only satisfy their own maverick, but also promote the development of a generation of famous cars.
Traffic lights are related to women's clothes
The origin of traffic lights can be traced back to England in the early 19th century. At that time, in York City, England, a woman in a red dress was "married", while a woman in a green dress was "unmarried." At that time, horse-drawn carriage accidents frequently occurred in front of the Houses of Parliament in London.Inspired by the red and green outfits, British mechanic Hart designed red and green gas traffic lights in 1868, which were moved by a policeman holding a long pole.beltTo change the color of the light. Unfortunately, the lamp has only 23 days of history. The reason for the interruption was the sudden explosion of a gas lamp that killed a policeman. It was not until 1914 that the traffic lights were restored. However, it is already an "electrical signal light" at this time. Later, traffic lights reappeared in cities such as New York and Chicago. There are different opinions about the invention of the yellow signal light: one theory says that the inventor of the yellow light is the Chinese Hu Ruding, and the time is 1927. Another theory is that American policeman William Potts invented the first red, yellow, green, four-directional traffic light, which was put into use in October 1920 and was installed at the junction of Woodward Street and Ford Street in Detroit. Place.
Driving in the North Pole, the door is not allowed to lock
On the endless glacier, the uninhabited North Pole is actually inhabited by another giant predator-the polar bear. There is a rule for driving here, and it is legal: you cannot lock the door. The reason is that the conflicts between humans and animals on territorial issues have been sharp since ancient times. On the Arctic continent, it is still difficult to tell who robbed whose territory first, but in extreme cases, you can do it with polar bears. I'm afraid there is no other choice but to escape. If there happens to be a car nearby or a car is coming, it is obviously a relatively safe way to get into the car and leave. Therefore, the Arctic stipulates that cars cannot lock their doors, which in fact leaves a way for people who may be attacked by polar bears.
