The famous mid 70s through 80s servo actuated air conditioning system (AAC II) was designed and used by Chrysler as the Auto Temp II system. When Chrysler replaced it with a newer design they sold it to Mercedes.

Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz never met. The companies were merged post-war.

When Bertha Benz made her road trip she experienced several breakdowns which she had to repair on her own. It led to a few changes in future cars.
