3. OnStar hits the market
Of course, many great things happened in the 40 years leading up to this technological advancement, but to save time and space (and your sanity going through Chevy's entire history), we're going to jump ahead here for the end. In 1996, GM began integrating their OnStar hands-free system on all its vehicles. This was the very first hands-free communication device seen around the world. What made OnStar so unique was the fact that it connected you with a live operator no matter what the time of day or situation. Once again, GM proved its forward-thinking ways and path to innovation that was only just beginning.
