How Electric Cars and Airplanes Are Getting Smarter and Safer
Fun Fact!
- The first electric car was actually invented in 1891, that's over 130 years ago! It was so quiet that people had to ring bells to warn horses and pedestrians!
- Electric cars are actually older than gas cars! The first electric car was built in 1891, but gas cars became more popular because they could go farther distances.
Fun Fact!
Modern airplanes have special computers called "fly-by-wire" systems that help pilots control the plane, these computers can make over 40 corrections per second to keep the airplane stable and safe!
