Automobiles



What is a car?

A car or automobile is a wheeled vehicle that carries its own motor and transports passengers. The automobile as we know it was not invented in a single day by a single inventor.

The First car

The recorded first steam-powered “Car” was invented by a French engineering Nicolas Cugnot in 1769. It was used in military as a tractor, but crashed into a wall (see the picutre below).

A modern automobile is built up using more than 100,000 patent techniques.

Car as a Daily Necessity

We use car to go around, to run daily errands, to commute between home and work, to shop, visit friends, and to travel.  In our life, having a car just like having a meal knowing how to speak, we either consciously or unconsciously think that we cannot go without. No matter you are rich or poor, you got to have at least one car.

Car as a Luxury

Anyone who possesses and utilizes car(s) beyond his/her necessity is enjoying the luxury of car.  Certainly, owning a number of antique cars or highline care is for luxury. However, buying an large SUV than a regular-sized sedan is for luxury, buying a brand name (e.g., BMW, Merced) than a generic is for luxury, looking for more horsepower than needed is for luxury, even buying a “good looking” thank a “well-functioned” is for luxury.

Concept cars

Since first car in 1769, we have so many different kinds of cars now to enjoy. One driving force for new cars to come out is the development of Concept cars. We have a lot of smart and creative people who keep designing new cars beyond many people’s imagination.  A review of these concept cars itself is enjoyful.

Car for green

Pollution caused by driving automobiles is enormous given that millions and millions of people are driving.   The new technologies are now make cars more “Green” such as electric cars, hybrid gas-electric cars with the best gas mileage. Solar-powered cars are also under testing. This type of cars will be 100% green if they are available and affordable.
