Technique from biology helps explain the evolution of the American car

2016-07-03 04:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: A UCLA-led team of researchers has taken a unique approach to explain the way in which technologies evolve in modern society. Borrowing a technique that biologists might use to study the evolution of plants or animals, the scientists plotted the "births" and "deaths" of every American-made car and truck model from 1896 to 2014. In addition to uncovering interesting insights about the auto industry, the strategy -- which could be used to study the evolution of phones, music, TVs or any number of...
