CAR HISTORY

First Car Design

An automobile, auto car, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for
 transport passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions
 of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have
 seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed
 principally for the transport of people rather than goods.^[3]

The year 1886 is regarded the year of birth of the modern automobile - with the BENZ
 patent-Motorwagen, by German inventor Karl Benz. Motorised waggons soon replaced
 animal-drafted carriages, especially after automobiles became affordable for many people when the Ford Model T was introduced in 1908.

The term motorcar has formerly also been used in the context of electrified rail systems to denote a car which functions as a small locomotive but also provides space for passengers and baggage. These locomotive cars were often used on suburban routes by both interurban and intercity railroad systems.^[4]

It was estimated in 2010 that the number of automobiles had risen to over 1 billion vehicles, up from the 500 million of 1986.^[5] The numbers are increasing rapidly, especially IN china and India..
