Identifying The Problem Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot was the designer that ran into a problem during his design. The problem was that he ran into a stone wall with his three wheeled tractor and had the first auto accident in history.

Brainstorming Designer Idea/Design C.L. Horock He invented the ‘’telescope’’ shock absorber. This makes smoother rides and is still used today. Ransom E.Olds He started the first car factory. In its first year it made 425 cars. By 1905 he is selling 5,000 cars. Louis Renault He designed the standard drum brakes. These brakes have been improved but still have the basic design. William Durant He formed general motors. General Motors is the largest corporation today. Henry Ford He started making the Model T. Charles Kettering He invented the electric starter. Before this people had to start cars by hand cranking them. Francis Wright Davis 1926 He invented power steering. Power steering makes it easier to turn. Year

Build, Test, and Evaluate Before Henry Ford built the Model T, cars only went a few miles per an hour. The test part of the design process was a success for Henry Ford. He sold 10,660 Model T’s in the first year of production. Before Henry Ford built the Model T, cars only went a few miles per an hour.
