2. Henry Ford
Henry Ford transformed transportation by introducing the moving assembly line, revolutionizing how products were made. His Model T was not the first car, but it was the first affordable automobile for the average American, thanks to Ford’s drive for efficiency and innovation. Prior to Ford, cars were luxury items; his techniques made car ownership a reality for millions. As the History Channel explains, Ford’s influence spread far beyond automobiles, forever changing global manufacturing and setting the standard for mass production in countless industries.
