Obviously not. It's just cheap "content." and they are not concerned about accuracy or truth at all. I could not finish the video, because it was such obvious B.S.
That is most likely due to this production being assembled and narrated by A.I. I sensed that a short while into the vid. Too many pronunciation problems.
You missed one that I for one miss the greatest. Rain gutters. I used to be able to have the window open about halfway during the 60s when it rained. Now if I even crack it open less than an inch, the rain comes flowing in off the roof. Parked or driving, you have to have your windows up tightly if you don't want the rain to come in.
Total BS. The more I watched this the more I was thinking what a load of crap. More than half of these still exist today. Others were replaced with upgrades, in several cases they were one-offs for shows and were never meant to be released to the public. The rest were discontinued due to cost and weight.
I saw many things in this video that weren't "innovations" as much as they were "experiments" and never made it to production... catalytic converters, however, are still on cars.
Loved vent windows on my trucks. 8-tracks, you could fit about 3 of them in the glovebox & would drive you crazy trying to catch your favorite tracks without missing 1/2 of them. Catalytic converters are still on every vehicle with an ICE.
My mom bought a 2005 Pontiac Vibe that had the option of a luggage rack. Antilock brakes are standard on vehicles today as are shoulder straps. The hovercar and scent dispensers weren't practical. The dog or goat sack wouldn't have been good if the car got sideswiped. The glowing tires could be made today out of rubber that is better tire material than was available back when the idea debuted. Lapbelts could rip a person in half during a collision, even at low speeds. Roll bars are still available as an aftermarket modification. Windshield wipers were improved to the point that vacuum operated windshield wipers were obsolete. Asbestos brake pads were rendered obsolete by improvements in brake technology. The catalytic converter (I prefer to call them catalytic preverters because they don't allow an engine to burn clean because they force the engine to reburn exhaust gasses) should be replaced by a turbo which does the same job and allows the car to run clean. The spherical wheels were not accepted courtesy of the mechanical issues and problems which made the typical wheels not only more practical, but also safer with less likelihood of failure leading to accidents. Chrome accents were only popular among blacks. Analog clocks disappeared due to people losing the ability to read them accurately.
This video was a blast from the past! I love it. I remember some of these features from old family cars-like the bench seats. Such a cool walk down memory lane, and so well explained!
I don't know what he was talking about bench seats and bucket seats. Bucket seats were being used in the early 60ies . I know this because I owned some and lived it.
Column shifters are still commonplace, especially on fleet trucks and police vehicles. Roof racks are still widely used, just not standard from factory. Push button transmissions are seeing a resurgence. In fact my rental car earlier this year, a 2024 Hyundai Tucson, had push buttons for the transmission. Also I believe some FCA and GM vehicles have a combination of push and pull switches for the gear shift.
Bench seats were great... before seatbelts. With them, a shy new girlfriend could wait for an "opportunity turn", when we turned a corner, giving them an excuse to "accidentally" slide across the vinyl seat, right up against us.
Script written by a mordon who has NO actual experience with most of these items. Problem was the "SMART EDUCATED" engineers knew what people needed NOT what people wanted and customers were stuck with new/different designs because the factories KNEW what the customer needed...

The seat/bed was on the 1946 Studebaker presidential i believe was the model. The back of the front bench would lay flat along with the back of the rear seat giving you a bed when nessary
I’ve been a strong car enthusiast for over 70 years and I’ve never heard of seen half of this stuff and a lot of this is so wrong on facts it’s funny. I think the one thing they showed I would like to have is the flame thrower headlights and fenders. That would get those protesters that block the road out of the way. 😂😂😂. Seriously the facts were so fouled up in this video. I laughed at so much of this. The seat that was also a toilet I’ve never heard of. I guess you drop your pants before you got in the car so if the urge hit you were all set. The bar in the glove box so the driver could have a few shots to make a long drive less boring. 😂😂
Mercedes still uses the 3 star hood ornament on it's S class Pop up headlights have been outlawed in new cars, stating that they created a hazard for pedestrians if they are hit
The timeline for hand crank windows is a bit out of whack. I had a 1993 Toyota Corolla with hand crank windows. AC was optional on the vehicle. Thankfully mine had an AC unit which worked most of the time. The rest of the time was spent rolling down the windows or up on all four doors when the AC button failed. I've nothing against crank windows. They just worked. Bench seats however... What I wouldn't give to have my butt grace bench seats again.
Bench seats were also forced out by the various 'safety' demands of government. Wing window became superfluous. The automobile manufacturers liked the absence of wing windows as it cut that cost of manufacture. Ash trays were removed by governmental programs to cut down smokers. One notes 12 volt power is still available from the cigarette lighter sockets. Record players. Somewhat misleading as the device was replaced by various other methods of providing non-radio music to drivers and passengers. One notes improved forms of radio and music producing devices are still alive and well. Car phones still exist and are quite popular. However, they are no longer supplied by the automobile manufacturer. They are purchased separately and carried on the person. The initial 'car phone' has - like the record player - been replaced by cell phones. Hood ornaments. More safety laws and positions. No popularity involved. Dimmer switches and multipurpose controls. I suspect the need to replace more expensive parts (one foot operated dimmer switch is cheaper than an entire turn signal set up) has motivated the change more than public opinion.

It wasn't bucket seats that were the demise of the bench seat it was another downsizing that did it with most families being mom dad and 4 kids gave everyone a seat we needed a station wagon for 5 boys a sedan was cramped and a wagon also could haul a load 😊
Actually, neither of you two are correct. Modern safety standards have made it necessary for vehicles to include airbags and safety belt systems that are more compatible with individual bucket seats than with bench seats.
After about #25, this lost just gets silly. The Wankel/Rotary is one of Many duplicate entries in the list. Not the best vid from this channel. Ah well. 😆
Many of the "innovations" you mention almost certainly weren't widely used or used at all. In addition you repeated many things over like the Wankel and rotary engines, Jet fins and Jet features, chrome, etc.. Seem like unnecessarily to pad your video out for more commercials. Maybe instead of mentioning things twice, you should have been more comprehensive in descriptions?
US Federal Law still requires the cats and most cars still have drum brakes on the rear wheels with rear disk brakes still remaining optional. And you guys wonder why you have fewer than 18 thousand subscribers. Adding more actual facts might help!
uhh no. 4 wheel disks are standard on multiple models of multiple manufacturers for over 20 years now, they're not an option. my 07 Charger doesn't have a single drum.
So much b/s in this video, many are not "innovations" but standard features. Calling a non collapsible steering wheel an innovation for example is idiotic, what did they have before that made it innovative? Also repeating items multiple times with different descriptions only makes this video look like it was written by someone ordered to make a 100 item list or was put together by some "ai" powered crap system.
I like bench seats depending on the vehicle and vent windows should have never gone away
Was any research done for this?
Obviously not. It's just cheap "content." and they are not concerned about accuracy or truth at all. I could not finish the video, because it was such obvious B.S.
Anti-lock Brakes or ABS is a standard now on all cars! You might want to check your facts!
There are a lot of things in this video presented as "fact" that are really "bulls*it."
There are so many errors in this video. Sad.
That is most likely due to this production being assembled and narrated by A.I.
I sensed that a short while into the vid. Too many pronunciation problems.
Indeed! I was surprised to see so many “silly” errors that a modicum of research would dispel. 😢
Too many repeats to boot. And too damned many commercials.
Thanks for the heads up. 😊

Now if I even crack it open less than an inch, the rain comes flowing in off the roof. Parked or driving, you have to have your windows up tightly if you don't want the rain to come in.
there are easily installed and inexpensive aftermarket accessories that do this.
Vent windows disappeared due to cost cutting by manufacturers.
Have a bench seat in my 2024 truck.
I miss the foot-operated dimmers.
Manual window winders are still in use. They didn't disappear last century. My 2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ has window winders.
If you enjoy A.I. speaking poorly, then this video is for you!
Glad to discover someone else despises AI as much as I do. This video is less bad than many, but still....I'm gone!
You are 100% there, friend. I could not finish the video because of 1) THE AI VOICE and 2) the inaccuracy of the information.
You're so off based with some of these entries. Holy crap!😂
Precisely why many of of us have not subscribed to this channel.

I would rather have the knobs on my radio. It was safer than looking for the button to press
Drum brakes and manual window winders are still in use. I'm at 34:00. This is when you jumped the shark, got to go.
Loved vent windows on my trucks. 8-tracks, you could fit about 3 of them in the glovebox & would drive you crazy trying to catch your favorite tracks without missing 1/2 of them. Catalytic converters are still on every vehicle with an ICE.
Loved them in the station wagon,when you could fold the seat down
I really hated automatic seatbelts. You ever try to fix those things when they fail?
There are so many errors, including discussing American cars using metric system. For most of it is just greek.
I love bench seats

VINYL ROOFS were a way for manufacturers to cover up imperfections caused during assembly. doing a vinyl roof saved many hours of body work.
Car Toilet - thats a Homer Simpson idea if ever there was one.
My VW beetle only has about 40% of these innovations. lol
Manual column shifters was one of the rare endorsements as a safety feature in Ralf Nadar's book ; Unsafe at all speeds .
Try harder...Lots of SUV's still have roof racks.
SUVs out sell sedans 2:1, so you can effectively say more passenger vehicles sold now have racks than don't.

Duhhhh, the "script" is A.I. Created by a computer. Yeah, "moron" is the perfect way to describe artificial intelligence. It ain't smart.
How many lbs was that car phone? I only know freedom units 🤪
They should bring back foot dimmer switches and vinyl roofs.
Ok, an ad every 45 seconds is a bit much!
I thought that bench seats were phased out in favor of bucket seats to reduce the potential passenger weight by 200lbs to increase gas milage.
I had horizontal fins on my ‘60 Bel Air
i got to get that flame thrower feature! lol

Entertaining, but ,with hundreds of in accuracies to the point of being very misleading. Ditch the AI and get a human to narrate, or can't you speak?
Way off on some of these.

And here I was under the impression many of these items were forced out by the gov.
Many states still require the ABS to work if it is included in the vehicle.
you're right on this one, but it is just a part of the traction control system for most cars.

Since forever you miser
Might be the dumbest I have ever saw they are so wrong about a lot of things
You “have ever saw”? Speaking of seeing something dumb…
bring back the in car toilet!
Had no power in the amc rambler. And i learned in a pontiac vista cruiser
They have luggage racks, column shift, and push button transmissions
