What happened in 1910? The first automobile dates from 1886, and I'm pretty sure the horse&buggy personal transportation method predates it by several centuries.

Mass manufacturing. Almost everything became widely available, at least in developing and developed countries.

Technically 1908, but we can round.

The first automobiles were practically toys for the rich. Cars didn't really become a "mass market" thing until ~1910.
