An
automobile, autocar, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used
for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor.
Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles 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.
The
term motorcar has also been used in the context of electrified rail
systems to denote a car which functions as a small locomotive but also
provides space for passengers and baggage. These locomotive cars were
often used on suburban routes by both interurban and intercity railroad
systems.
It
was estimated in 2010 that the number of automobiles had risen to over 1
billion vehicles, with 500 million reached in 1986.The numbers are
increasing rapidly, especially in China and India.
Karl
Benz proposed co-operation between DMG and Benz & Cie. when
economic conditions began to deteriorate in Germany following the First
World War, but the directors of DMG refused to consider it initially.
Negotiations between the two companies resumed several years later when
these conditions worsened and, in 1924 they signed an Agreement of
Mutual Interest, valid until the year 2000. Both enterprises
standardized design, production, purchasing, and sales and they
advertised or marketed their automobile models jointly, although keeping
their respective brands. On June 28, 1926, Benz & Cie. and DMG
finally merged as the Daimler-Benz company, baptizing all of its
automobiles Mercedes Benz, as a brand honoring the most important model
of the DMG automobiles, the Maybach design later referred to as the 1902
Mercedes-35 hp, along with the Benz name. Karl Benz remained a member
of the board of directors of Daimler-Benz until his death in 1929, and
at times, his two sons participated in the management of the company as
well.
