The conversation between human and AI assistant.
What happened to the horse-drawn carriage industry when automobiles took off in the 1910s and 20s?
That must have been difficult for the workers. What about the consumers? Did they have any reservations about switching to automobiles?
Initially, yes. Automobiles were expensive and unreliable, so many people continued to use horse-drawn carriages for transportation. However, as technology improved and prices decreased, more and more people began to adopt automobiles.
