The Geography of the car.
The car is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transportation. Most definitions of the term specify that cars are designed to run on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to have four wheels and to be used for the transportation of people rather than goods.
The Benz Patent-Motorwagen was built in 1886 and is the first automobile, a vehicle designed to be propelled by an internal combustion engine. Cars did not become widely available until the early 20th century. One of the first cars that was accessible to the public was the 1908 Model T, an American car made by the Ford Motor Company. Cars are equipped with controls used for driving, parking, passenger comfort and safety. As of 2010, controls have been added to cars, making them more complex. Examples include rear reversing cameras, air conditioning, navigation systems, and in car entertainment. Most cars in use in 2010 are propelled by an internal combustion engine, fuelled by petrol or diesel. Both fuels cause air pollution and are also blamed for contributing to climate change and global warming. Electric cars began to become commercially available in 2008. The benefits of having a car include on-demand transportation, mobility, independence and convenience.
