Henry Ford began building cars in 1896 and started his own company in 1903. The Ford Motor Company improved mass-production with the first conveyor belt-based assembly line in 1913, producing the Model T (which had been introduced in 1908). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_industry_in_the_United_States

The Model T made its debut in 1908 with a purchase price of $825.00. Over ten thousand were sold in its first year, establishing a new record. Four years later the price dropped to $575.00 and sales soared. By 1914, Ford could claim a 48% share of the automobile market.

The first-ever GPS navigation system for a production vehicle, GM's GuideStar system for the 1995 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight cost just under $2,000 and wasn't particularly accurate. Two of the most famous early models are Ford's Microsoft-based Sync, and BMW's iDrive, both of which have been heavily upgraded over the years. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2402758,00.asp

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, Impala, Malibu and Volt will be the first to come optionally equipped with OnStar 4G LTE. The new system will eventually be offered on most GM vehicles -- from the Chevrolet Corvette sports car to the Cadillac XTS luxury sedan. http://www.autotrader.com/car-tech/got-wifi-cars-with-wifi-hot-spots-keep-drivers-connected-226747
