A car (or automobile) is a motor vehicle with four wheels that is used for transportation. Cars are typically described as vehicles that operate primarily on highways, seat one to eight passengers, have four wheels, and primarily carry people rather than goods, according to most definitions.
Cars became commonly used in the twentieth century, and industrialised economies depend on them. Since German inventor Karl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen in 1886, it is considered the birth year of the modern automobile.
In the early twentieth century, automobiles were readily popular. The 1908 Model T, an American automobile produced by the Ford Motor Corporation, was one of the first vehicles sold to the general public.
