Abstract

The automotive industry, characterised throughout history by its reliance on technological innovation, is currently undergoing a major transformation driven by relentless technological advancements. These technological changes are fundamentally reshaping the industry, changing the process of design, construction, operation, and user experience. This paper analyses and highlights the impacts and important applications of technology in the automotive industry from its inception until the present. Because manufacturers are always on the path of evolution, they must ensure that they keep up to date with the latest technology in order to maintain their position in this constantly changing industry.
