9 Standard Features In Cars That Have Been Replaced By New Tech by Automotive1(m): 4:14pm On Oct 11, 2018 |
Most new cars now come standard with features that were once found in luxury cars while some features from over two decade ago are now all but obsolete. The following are some of the features that once come standard in cars but are now (or being) replaced by new technology. 1) Cassette car stereo Even the CD decks that replaced the Cassette car stereo are now being replaced with apps and wireless technology. 2) Steering wheel locks The Steering wheel locks that was replaced by built in immobilisers have started to become more popular again to combat criminals using new high-tech methods to steal cars. The case of Anthony Joshua's stolen Range Rover is still fresh in our minds. 3)Manual Wind-up windows Now we don't have to manually wind the window up and down with the new electric power windows. You only need to press the appropriate buttons to do this . 4) Spare tyres Less than fifty per cent of brand new cars now come with full-sized spare tyres (except for the 4×4 SUVs, bigger vans and pickups). They are being replaced by run-flat tyres (for super luxury cars) and donut spare tyres, that should be replaced immediately when you get to the nearest vulcanizer. 5) Keys to unlock the car The remote fob has replaced the physical keys in most cars that needs to be placed in the door lock to unlock the car .Smartphones are also becoming popular. 6) Keys Physical keys to start the car has been replaced with Keyless ignition in almost new cars. 7) Ashtrays and cigarette lighters Automakers are making it harder to smoke in the car by replacing cigarette lighters and ashtrays with storage spaces and USB ports. Hand brake These have been replaced in most new cars by the electronic parking brakes that are put on at the push of a button. 9) Antennas Except for the police car that still needs it for scanners, CB radios, and computers, both the manual and power exterior antenna for am-fm radio reception have been replaced with high-tech receivers. Which of these "the then" amazing car features did you miss?

OneCorner:You are entitled to your own opinion. I refused to be poor because poverty is not hereditary but a choice. And my philosophy is every man to his limbs. I bought my ride with my money not yours. Am still an undergraduate yet am better than some of my colleagues and I am legit. If I may ask do you have a ride? 26 Likes |

Igboho100: In the Bible, Pharaoh of Egypt was pursuing the Israelites upandan until he was swallowed by the Red Sea. He used a CHARIOT - wheels. This was more than 4000 years ago. - No single wheels in Nigeria then. The Europeans have been riding carriages since whenever up till at least 1900 before cars became mainstream. No single carriage in Nigeria. No wheels, no bicycle, no wheel barrow. Nothing. Everybody waka-ing inside bush. Ask all the elders in your village. - Until white men brought complete finished cars to Nigeria from 1900 upwards before we even saw what is called WHEELS. Today, we are making mouth with cars. We never put any effort into making even ONE WHEEL. . 6 Likes 2 Shares

For Nigerian roads, there is currently no available upgrade to replace the trusty Koboko bull whip that is prominently displayed in the front window of cars occupied by those qualified for the privilege.

I missed the cassette and the antenna. While growing up, i liked any car that has antenna which we nick-named 'Ntu Oyi'. That was beauty of 504 GR, SR, GL, and Mercedes Benz 200E (Flat boot) 1 Like |
