TIL that in the U.S. in 1902, more than half of new car registrations were for steam-powered cars. Steam engines were safe, reliable, and familiar, having already been used in trains and boats. However, they were heavy, slow to start (the water had to boil), and required constant attention.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_carhttps://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/156k7s3/til_that_in_the_us_in_1902_more_than_half_of_new/
