Ahh, the car, is the main form of transportation for most people on planet earth.
Cars were invented in 1886 when a German inventor of the name Carl Benz, made the Benz-Moterwagen and it became widely available during the 20th. One of the most widely owned was the 1908 Model T (which is the classic roofed car from movies like Sherlock holmes, and old-themed movies and TV shows). The Model T was made by the Ford Motor Company.
In the US cars were replaced by horse-drawn carriages. Not until automobiles were not in high demand but after WW2, a car was part of a "Developed economy".
Cars have controls to park drive and for extra passengers. And over time many additions were added to cars to make them drive better and be more comfortable, such as air conditioning, more comfortable seating, and suspension for smoother driving.
Most cars are powered by an internal combustion engine and fueled by fossil fuels, but electric cars use electricity to function, it is estimated to be cheaper to buy an electric car instead of a regular fuel-powered car by the year 2025.
The most reason to use electric cars is for the smaller carbon footprint and to help with climate change, as electricity can be made from wind and water, and other sources but fossil fuels are finite.
But repairs and maintenance, fuel, parking fees, taxes, and insurance do impact the price of a car. The costs of maintaining roads for cars are expensive.
And traffic and accidents are one of the most deadly in the world taking the lives of 46,000 people a year in accidents and crashes worldwide.
The benefits of driving a car are convenience (as public transport can be uncomfortable for some), and mobility to go anywhere you wish at fast speeds compared to walking.
There are more than one Billion cars in use worldwide.
Cars are a vital point in the planet's economy and a massive industry making billions a year.
