120 Years of Fear and Fascination with the Automobile
More than a century ago, fear and fascination gripped horse owners with the introduction of mass-produced automobiles, and today modern Canadians grapple over the idea of autonomous vehicles ruling the roads. Gates will explore our complicated history with the automobile and its technological evolution in Canada using examples from the Canadian Automotive Museum's collection. This event is part of the Spring 2019 Speaker series. Register for the Spring 2019 Event Series.
