Cars: In 1972, the first car was assembled in Ecuador. They were built with strong materials, that's why they were more resistant to crashes.

In the past, people used to use the carriages to go from one place to another. With time, cars were invented; and now, we do not need horses to travel or commute. More than else, the locomotives used to transport heavy load or go to far cities; now, they are mainly considered for tourist purposes. The animals also used to be one of the main means of transportation before the locomotive was created. But if we talk about the cars, they used to be cleaner than those we have now; because their engine was different and they could only travel short distances. In addition, the bicycle that people used to ride was more uncomfortable than the ones we use now. Their seats were very small and the wheels, too.
