  • Little bit of trivia from Barry's Car Crazy Show

    WHat automobile feature was invented by a blind man, and why? (I don't know the answer, ha.)

    As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.

    Cruise control...

    "Cruise control was invented in 1945 by the blind inventor and mechanical engineer Ralph Teetor. His idea was born out of the frustration of riding in a car driven by his lawyer, who kept speeding up and slowing down as he talked. The first car with cruise control was introduced by the Chrysler Corporation on the 1958 Chrysler Imperial."

      Interesting,
      Never heard that before. Don't like cruise control, just one more thing to go wrong.
