Namuhla, ekhona ezimotweni eziningi, izinhlelo zokuhamba zivele embonini yezimoto kuphela eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu edlule. Kuze kube yilapho izalwa, abashayeli bekufanele basebenzise amamephu "abadala", kodwa lokho akuzange kuvimbe iFord ekuzameni ukwenza uhlelo oluzotshela umshayeli, ngesikhathi sangempela, ukuthi ukuphi.
Umphumela walesi sifiso sokusungula izinto ezintsha wafika kumfuziselo we-Ford Aurora owavezwa uhlobo lwe-oval eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngo-1964. Ngesitayela esivamile saseNyakatho Melika, lesi sibonelo sasihlose ukucabanga ukuthi amaveni omndeni esikhathi esizayo ayoba njani.
Phakathi kokugqama kwayo okuyinhloko kwakuyizicabha ezisemaceleni ezi-asymmetric (kwakuyizimbili kwesokunxele futhi eyodwa kuphela kwesokudla) kanye nesicabha se-trunk esivuleke ngokwehlukana futhi ingxenye yaso engezansi yayisebenza njengesitebhisi sokufinyelela ohlwini lwesithathu lwezihlalo.
Imigqa ye-Ford Aurora ayifihli isikhathi lapho lesi sibonelo sakhiwe.
amazwibela ekusasa
Nakuba imigqa yayo ingashiyi muntu ongenandaba (ikakhulukazi ngo-1964), enye yemidwebo emikhulu ye-prototype eyathathwa yi-Ford ku-New York World's Fair yayingaphakathi layo.
Sikhuluma ngalokho okungabhekwa "njengombungu" wesistimu yokuhamba. Ngesikhathi lapho uhlelo lwe-GPS lwaluyiphupho nje, abakwaFord banquma ukufaka uhlobo lwesistimu yokuzulazula esifanekisweni sabo.
Njengoba sibekwe kudeshibhodi, lesi simiso sasimane nje siyimephu ebekwe ngemva kwengilazi “enombono” ozishintshayo ngokuzenzekelayo futhi uboniswe ebalazweni lapho sikhona. Naphezu kokuba nentsha, le sistimu ayizange isibonise ukuthi sifika kanjani lapho siya khona, ngokungafani ne-GPS yesimanje.
Nakuba lesi simiso savusa ilukuluku elikhulu, iqiniso alizange livezwe ukuthi lalisebenza kanjani.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukusetshenziswa kwayo "emhlabeni wangempela" kuzodinga ukuhamba namamephu amaningi wezindawo oya kuzo, kodwa bekuvele kuyintuthuko enkulu ngesikhathi lapho, ukuze sithole ama-bearings ethu, kwakudingeka sazi ukuthi sisetshenziswa kanjani... ikhampasi.
Ekugcineni, ngisho nangaphakathi kwalesi sibonelo kwakukhona isiqandisi esincane, umsakazo owawuyisibopho ngaleso sikhathi i-AM/FM kanye nomabonakude imbala. Isondo lokuqondisa lithathelwe indawo uhlobo lwenduku yendiza futhi kubonakala sengathi isebenze njengesikhuthazo ku-KITT edumile.
Ngeshwa, izixazululo eziningi ezifakwe kulesi sibonelo azikaze zibone ukukhanya kosuku, okuhlanganisa nesistimu yayo yokuzulazula.
