想象一个没有汽车的世界！从福特T型车到大众甲壳虫再到通用Firebird，这本设计历史特别关注汽车的影响力——过去，现在和未来。

《汽车:加速现代世界》将汽车作为推动20世纪步伐的推动力来进行介绍。从1913年福特汽车公司的**条移动装配线到20世纪20年代通用汽车推出的年度车型，再到20世纪70年代能源危机之后和对电动汽车重新燃起的兴趣和最近向自动驾驶的转移，本书深入研究了汽车的历史及其对设计世界的影响。当我们站在当今汽车设计的转折点时，本书及其伴随的展览要求我们回顾一下加速发展的过去，以便更好地了解我们将来的发展方向。

Imagine a world without cars! From the Ford Model T to the VW Beetle to the GM Firebird, this design history zooms in on the impact of cars—past, present, and future

The car: it has profoundly reshaped the world we live in. It has altered the production and purchasing of consumer goods; the shape of our cities, nations, and landscapes; and ultimately, our relationship with speed itself.

Cars: Accelerating the Modern World presents the car as a driving force that accelerated the pace of the 20th century. From the first moving assembly line at the Ford Motor Company in 1913 and the introduction of the annual model by General Motors in the 1920s to the renewed interest in electric cars after the energy crises of the 1970s and the recent move toward autonomous driving, this book takes an in-depth look at the history of the automobile and its impact on the design world. As we stand at a turning point in the design of the car today, this book and the exhibition it accompanies ask us to look back at its accelerated past to better understand where we want to go in the future.
