Old automobiles had fewer features than they do today. During the mid-ninteenth century, many car giants like Ford and GM were manufacturing millions of cars every year. Today, there are many different brands and types of automobiles, giving customers more freedom to choose.

After WW2, the use of trains declined greatly. Since the rise of automobiles and the creation of the interstate in the 1950s, the need for trains to transport goods was far less than it was before. Now, trains are still used in big cities but less so than other forms of transport.
Ships were used during both world wars to fight and transport supplies. In addition, this was how many people emigrated accross the world. Today, ships are mostly used for transporting goods, as well as cruise vacations and travel.
