19、obiles 汽车发展简史 汽车的发明是现代史上最重要的事件之一。汽车使出行变得舒适、自由，它改变了人们外出、交往、旅行和日常生活的方式。 1806年，一位瑞士发明家发明了第一台内燃机。这台早期的内燃机以氢和氧的混合物为燃料。这位瑞士发明家把它装在一辆当时制造的首批汽车上作为驱动，但由于设计不完善，因此没能获得商业上的成功。 直到1885 年，德国工程师、发明家卡尔?本茨发明了第一台由汽油驱动的四冲程内燃机。他把这台发动机装在一辆小得只有一个座位带三个轮子的早期汽车上。后来，本茨发明了配备改良发动机的四轮汽车。 20世纪早期，亨利?福特和兰塞姆?奥尔兹两人进一步推动了汽车工业的发展。奥尔兹莫比

30、不像现在这样，只能按喇叭、打开刹车灯、车前灯或者转向信号灯。这些方式相当单一，很难展示细腻的情感表情，比如向让道的司机表示感谢，对不正当超车的司机表示不满等。 发明这种沟通方式是因为人们对面部表情和肢体语言有着与生俱来的喜爱。并非只有人类的表情和肢体语言才能被理解，因此，汽车也能够像机器人一样表达感情。 这种技术的出现能帮助司机更好地行车，共享他们对彼此驾驶习惯的判断，因此使周围所有的驾驶员少一些烦恼、压力和麻烦。Menu Back Next 6.
