When automobiles were introduced, there was not a friendly integration of the vehicles to city streets and country roads. Instead, early automobiles were rather antisocial to street life, often causing great divides between the public, who felt they had a right to streets, and drivers, whose automobiles' speed and power quickly dominated them.. This phenomenon was illustrated in a montage of clips in Harold Lloyd's 1928 film, "Speedy" [26]. The sociability of humans around automobiles was initially that of conflict. People had opinions and fights with regard to accessing public streets, and many attempted to introduce legislation to protect the public against automobiles [1]. Sally A. Applin and Michael D.
