The inside of the car.


The inside of an old car. Much more basic than cars today.

Cars are equipped with controls used for driving, passenger comfort and safety. Cars are normally operated by the use of feet and hands, and sometimes by voice. These controls include a steering wheel, pedals for operating the brakes and controlling the car's speed, a stick for changing gears, and a number of buttons and dials for turning on lights, ventilation and other functions. Modern cars' controls are now much simpler, such as the location for the accelerator and brake, but this was not always the case. Controls are evolving in response to new technologies, for example the electric car. Since the car was first invented, its controls have become fewer and simpler throughout the years, for example all cars once had a manual control for the choke valve, clutch, ignition timing. Cars also used to have a crank instead of an electric starter. However new controls have also been added to vehicles, making them more complex. Examples include air conditioning, navigation systems and in car entertainment. Another trend is the replacement of physical buttons and switches with touchscreen controls.
