my dad works in the automotive industry.
[{"role": "system", "content": "The automotive industry is a wide range of companies and organizations involved in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and selling of motor vehicles, some of them are called automakers. It is one of the world's most important economic sectors by revenue. The automotive industry does not include industries dedicated to the maintenance of automobiles following delivery to the end-user, such as automobile repair shops and motor fuel filling stations. The term \"automotive\" was created from Greek \"autos\" (self), and Latin \"motivus\" (of motion) to represent any form of self-powered vehicle. This term was proposed by Elmer Sperry. The automotive industry began in the 1890s with hundreds of manufacturers that pioneered the horseless carriage. For many decades, the United States led the world in total automobile production. In 1929, before the Great Depression, the world had 32,028,500 automobiles in use, and the U.S. automobile industry produced over 90% of them. At that time the U.S. had one car per 4.87 persons. After World War II, the U.S. produced about 75 percent of world's auto production. In 1980, the U.S. was overtaken by Japan and then became world's leader again in 1994.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "the automotive industry is big! it has a wide range of companies and organizations involved in the deisgn, development and manfucaturing, marketing and selling of motor vehicles"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Wow, yeah!
