The first automobile of steam, initially designed to drag artillery pieces

was built in 1769. In the Great Britain its main benefit was the replacement of
the horse as a means of transportation to add to car.
Passing of time was implemented new technology of car and this produced its
evolution, and there were many changes mainly in automatic mode.
The first steam-powered vehicle, It was a tricycle around 4.5 tons, with wooden
wheels and rims of iron, whose engine was mounted on the wheels of a truck
crankshafts, and the passing of time, the automobile has been propelled since
its inception by different types of motors, like for example the electrical, the
steam and preferably the combustion engine internal alternative. The high
weight of the boiler and water system and the reduced autonomy of the
electric system, together with the availability of cheap fuels made alternative
internal combustion engine first of gasoline and diesel engine then eliminated
completely to the other two.
There

are

number

of

benefits

of

cars,

advantages

are:

Ease

of

transportation, families can go out together, and fast commute from one place
to another.
In addition to applications, truck already is considered one of the means of
transport most used in the world because of its convenience, long trips that
can be made with carriage and use for very important as selling or emergency
things from last time.
In the present-day car weighs much less, with more power of load, a lot more
speed and many uses for benefits, and currently, we have GPS and that it can
go on sale will be the first electric hybrid with cells of hydrogen to be produced
en masse in the United States, a few examples, sensors and camera in
reverse, photo sensors, automatic braking, airbags, keyless and manual

transmission, the behavior of the latest generation of automatic decides it an

electronic calculator, whose mapping is performed by factory taking into
account the different variables of the engine.
Finally there are some advances that the cars have nowadays, even in manual
mode and automatic mode which offers convenience to the user.

Nowadays the cars are the most important in the world, because it helps
to travel for visit to our family or go to our jobs. However what is it? Or how
does it function?. A car is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for
transportation. Most definitions of the term specify that cars 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. We can find a lot of kind of cars like a city car that is a small
automobile intended for use in urban areas. Unlike microcars, a city cars
greater speed, capacity and occupant protection are safer in mixed traffic
environments and weather conditions. While city cars can reach highway
speeds, that is not their intended use. In Japan, city cars are called kei cars. Kei
cars have to meet strict size and engine requirements: engines have a
maximum displacement of 660 cc and the car's length must be under 3400
mm. A sport utility vehicles are off-road vehicles with four-wheel drive and true
off-road capability. They most often feature high ground clearance and an
upright, boxy body design. Sport Utilities are typically defined by a body on
frame construction which offers more off-road capability but reduced on-road
ride comfort and handling compared to a cross-over or car based utility
vehicle. A hot hatch car is a high-performance hatchback, based on standard
superminis or small family cars with improved performance, handling and

styling. Hot hatches are very popular in Europe, where hatchbacks are by far
the most common body style for this size of car. In North America, sport
compacts are usually sold as saloons or coups rather than hatchbacks. And
this class is known as supermini in the UK, subcompact in North America.
Superminis have three, four or five doors, and even as an estate shape. They
are designed to

seat four

passengers

comfortably. Current supermini

hatchbacks are approximately 3900 mm long, while saloons and estate cars
are around 4200 mm long. Currently in the last year sedan variants are
generally not available in Europe and are marketed at a lower price than
hatchback models in North America. These are some models that you can find.

According to the ages the cars had been in a lot of changes, for example
with the way that you drive or with new functions that you can find. For
example the technology has turned around 360 degrees to cars, from sensors
that detect danger of collision and tighten seatbelts and activate the airbags
or airbag to systems of external and internal monitoring consists of several
cameras that allow the driver to observe what happens to the front, in the
blind spot mirrors behind the vehicle and on the rear seats only looking at a
display on the windshield. It has also developed the ABS system prevents the
wheels from locking during braking suddenly and prevents the wheels from
spinning on the asphalt. Volvo also ensures that new vehicles will have a
personalized interactive interface that will play center just copilot and steering
wheel control. Maybe It is clear that in future automotive technology tilts and
green alternative fuels such as hydrogen and compressed air, as well as
comfort and driver safety. Inevitably imagine that car will drive ten or thirty
years, but one thing is certain, always want something better.

In addition we can find that not only the advance in the technology of
the car is good too it can help to the environment. we can find the hybrid car
but what is it? or how does function?. Advances in automotive technology can
be seen in the change that has been the engine of the car so that, over the
years, is less harmful replacing diesel with electricity. Today the pollution has
been a problem that began to become a very important factor, since as we
have observed in studies and tables, each time there are more deaths because
of the greenhouse gases. The pollutant gases come from diesel cars using
common affecting the environment in which we live. Hybrid cars are the
architects of environmental change that has received worldwide, By running
from fuels for electricity. According to Juan Carlos Domnguez bump in his work
"Hybrid cars," in recent years investigations are aimed at getting new
propulsion systems for vehicles. seriously begin to appreciate the concept of
electric cars. However maybe hybrid cars are better for the environment. are
considered as a technological breakthrough in the automotive area and can
get to supplant cars combustion engines Hybrids are cars less powerful in
strength motor and finds it difficult to store large amounts of energy, but they
have great advantages over combustion engine cars. then there is a video
about the advantages and disadvantages of a hybrid car.
