History: Did you know that over one billion people on planet Earth own and drive a vehicle, and 250 million of them can be found in the United States? Since their inception in the mid-18th century, vehicles have revolutionized the way society operates. They helped, and still, help economies expand, information travel, individuals stay connected, and much, much more.
