Tucker's Dream Impacts Auto Industry

• Preston Tucker wished to start his own car company 
• He designed the Tucker 48 with safety in mind
• The Tucker 48 had a crush proof passenger compartment,a pop out windshield in case of collision, and a third light that moved with the steering wheel to constantly light the road ahead.     
• However after an investigation by the government Tucker lost any new investment in his company.
• Only around 50 Tuckers were ever produced 

The Assembly Line:Then and Now  

• Before Henry Ford's assembly line in 1910 it took 16 hours to build a Model T( I added this point because it was related to the video about Henry Ford and his Model T).     
• The assembly line became the mainstay of manufacturing any product after this point.
• In the modern era of manufacturing,the assembly line has been replaced by robotic machinery  instead of using.
