Automobiles

An automobile (through the french Greek auto, auto Latin and mobilize the movement, a vehicle that moves itself rather than being driven by another vehicle or animal) or car (most often reduced to only car) is a wheeled vehicle that bears his own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that cars are designed to operate primarily on roads, to have places for one to eight people, generally have four wheels, and be constructed primarily for transporting people rather than property. [1] However, the term is far from accurate because there are many types of vehicles which do similar tasks.

There were 590 million passenger cars worldwide (roughly one car for eleven people) from 2002.
