In the case of automobiles, health insurance has been a fairly recent process as cars were only invented around one hundred years ago. This means that it is easy to trace and see the evolution of cars since they were first invented.
Cars have come a long way in terms of technology and the ones we happily drive today are a world apart from those first cars in terms of features. We take things such as health insurance, airbags and central locking for granted; things that were not even thought of on the first cars.
In terms of fuel technology too, things have progressed rapidly over the last hundred years and we now have cars which use far less fuel such as the hybrid cars which use a mixture of petrol and self generating electricity. It is the older cars which use the most fuel and as they are phased out, we will see a new generation of much more economic vehicles.
However, in terms of looks, things have not changed quite so much. Although the cars today are very distinct from those first made, the last forty or so years have not seen so much of a change in design.
Sure, there are constant improvements and cars today are far more streamlined and sleeker than they were previously, but many of the classic designs from the sixties still remain.
