Most explanations of the term specify that cars are made to run mostly on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four tires with tyres, and to be constructed principally for the transport of individuals rather than goods. The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the present day car. In that full year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Vehicles did not become accessible before early on 20th century. One of the first cars that was accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car produced by the Ford Motor Company.

The word "car" is thought to result from the Latin phrase carrus or carrum ("wheeled vehicle"), or the center English term carre (so this means two-wheel cart, from Old North French). Subsequently, these comes from the Gaulish phrase karros (a Gallic chariot). The Gaulish dialect was a branch of the Brythoic terms which also used the portrayed expression Karr; the Brythonig language evolved into Welsh (and Gaelic) where 'Car llusg' (a drag cart or sledge) and 'car rhyfel' (war chariot) still survive. It originally referred to any wheeled horse-drawn vehicle, like a cart, carriage, or wagon. "Motor car" is attested from 1895, which is the usual formal name for cars in British British. "Autocar" is a version that is also attested from 1895, but that is now considered archaic. It literally means "self-propelled car". The term "horseless carriage" was used by some to refer to the first automobiles at that time that they were being built, and is attested from 1895.The term "automobile" is a classical compound produced from the ANCIENT GREEK LANGUAGE phrase aut?s (?????), signifying "self", and the Latin term mobilis, signifying "movable". It joined the English terminology from French, and was followed by the Automobile Membership of Great Britain in 1897 first. Over time, the word "automobile" fell out of favour in Britain, and was replaced by "motor car". It remains a chiefly North American usage. An abbreviated form, "auto", was a common way to refer to cars in English formerly, but is now considered old-fashioned. The word is employed in some compound formations in American English still, like "auto industry" and "auto mechanic"
