What was the impact of the automobile in american society?

Economically, socially, philosophically, regionally, environmentally, industrially, take your pick.

Cars industralized America in transportation and employment issues. People were being hired to manufacture the cars, and plus people now had a chance to view landscapes. Before only trains (old type) were the main way of transportation they had. Now with cars, te family could travel to other lands and view lanscapes. This inspired creativity and other factors.


Good Question.

Private transportation made a quantum leap.

I think that automobile plays a great importance in American society.Automobile in America is a necessity and not a simply a luxury.That is the very reason why they do take care of their automobile very well.

Automobiles have changed America and the world greatly. For me the biggest thing is liberty. The ability to go anywhere you want anytime you want with out having to stop to feed or give rest to your horse. Economic development has been amazing, since people have the ability to bring their products to anywhere in the land within their driving reach.

They had to replace well-beaten and dirt paths horses could walk on to concrete roads. It changed the livery business and brought fewer jobs for the blacksmith. The assembly line was created, but the delivery business picked up. Like any other industrial advances, when the new comes, new jobs are created and old ones are lost. But, possibly most importantly, if the automobile were never invented, then neither would have the tail gate party.
