When automobiles became popular the Ford model -T was one of the most popular. The early designs of automobiles in that time were pretty dangerous compared to the safer models released today because they lacked a lot of the safety features that keep passengers safe. The model- T was a basic design of a car because it had no seat belt and huge openings on the top. Even starting the car would cause people to hurt their wrist from the crank. The car could potentially reach 45 mph which can cause fatal collisions.
The model-T in society was meant more to be of convenience for society by providing transport but also cause many fatalities. By mass producing these automobiles the cars could be assessable to more people which can in turn cause more danger to drivers. The model-T wasn’t designed as a way to be dangerous but was an attempt to make things more convenient to all citizens. The model-t did lead the way for more cars to be designed the way they are today. The car gave people more power and freedom to do what they wanted but did not allow people more designs to control the power. Overall the model-T helped society more than it potentially damaged it.
