Intro
An Automobile/Auto car/motor car/car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. 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.
The term motorcar has 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.

Etymology
The word automobile comes, via the French automobile from the Ancient Greek word αὐτός (autós, "self") and the Latin mobilis ("movable"); meaning a vehicle that moves itself. The loanword was first adopted in English by the New York Times in 1899.The alternative name car is believed to originate from the Latin word carrus or carrum ("wheeled vehicle"), or the Middle English word carre ("cart") (from Old North French), in turn these are said to have originated from the Gaulish word karros (a Gallic Chariot).

Cars powered by electric power briefly appeared at the turn of the 20th century, but largely disappeared from use until the turn of the 21st century.
