Why did it take this long for consumer vehicles to get a push button start? Why did we need to have the mechanical ignition start?
But didn't some luxury cars have push button start as far back as the 1940s? Why wasn't it more widely adopted then?
While it is true that some luxury vehicles had push button start systems as early as the 1940s, they were not widely adopted for a few reasons. For one, the technology was still very new and many consumers were hesitant to trust it. Additionally, push button start systems were expensive to produce at the time, making them inaccessible to many consumers.
