In this post you will be made knowledgeable about the brief history of the auto industry. This post gives a timeline of the auto industry from the years of 1960-1998. Under the year 1980 its states "Japan emerged as the world's leading producer of automobiles with just over 11 million units produced in a world-wide total of over 38.6 million." This is interesting to me because it relates to a statement in the article, Termination or Transformation (my summarization article) . In this article it states that "U.S. auto manufacturers adopted methods, which they assumed accounted for the success of Japanese industry." This brief history relates to the Terminator 2 because it ties into the movie and how auto manufacturerers tried to replace humans with robots. These manufacturers thought that robots would be more beneficial, since they couldn't get hurt on the assembly -line. Also the robots they thought could perform more challenging tasks, without any complaints. Without being said the manufacturers believed the robots would bring more income to the auto industry.
