Video Description:

Ever wondered why we call it a dashboard when there’s nothing to dash and no board in sight? From horse-drawn carriages to car interiors and even website interfaces, the word has come a long way—and it started with mud, hooves, and flying dirt. In this video, we break down the weird, literal, and unexpectedly funny history behind the term.
