What is mass production?

Mass production is making lots of identical products quickly and cheaply, often using assembly lines. It revolutionised industries like car manufacturing, making vehicles like the Ford Model T affordable for many. This efficiency allows companies like Ford to integrate new technologies, such as Apple Maps, into their vehicles on a large scale.
