Cars To Be Assembled Atom By Atom

Automobile ... These locomotive cars were often used on suburban routes by both interurban and intercity railroad systems... Around the world, there were about 806 million cars and light trucks on the road in 2007; the engines of these burn over a billion cubic meters (260 billion US gallons) of petrol/gasoline and diesel fuel yearly...

Automotive Lighting ... Use of the front fog lamps when visibility is not seriously reduced is often prohibited (for example in the United Kingdom), as they can cause increased glare to other drivers, particularly in wet pavement conditions, as well as harming the driver's own vision due to excessive foreground illumination. The respective purposes of front fog lamps and driving lamps are often confused, due in part to the misconception that fog lamps are necessarily selective yellow, while any auxiliary lamp that makes white light is a driving lamp...

Automotive Market In The United States ... With the high fuel prices and the world petroleum crisis, the United States has seen its automotive market become more like the European market with fewer large vehicles on the road and more small cars... For luxurious cars, with the current volatility in oil prices, going for smaller cars is not only smart, but also trendy... And because fashion is of high importance with the upper classes, the little green cars with luxury trimmings become quite plausible ...

Turbulence ... Irregularity: Turbulent flows are always highly irregular. This is why turbulence problems are always treated statistically rather than deterministically...

Antique Car ... However, the legal definition for the purpose of antique vehicle registration varies widely. The antique car era includes the veteran car era and the brass car era which is from the beginning of the automobile up to the 1930s...

Biofuels By Region ... A senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Congressman Fred Upton introduced legislation to use at least E10 fuel by 2012 in all cars in the USA... GM has over 4 million E85 cars on the road now, and by 2012 half of the production cars for the US will be capable of running on E85 fuel... Asia China Main article: Bioenergy in China In China, the government is making E10 blends mandatory in five provinces that account for 16% of the nation's passenger cars...

Automobile Safety ... From 2006 the use of "bull bars", a fashion on 4x4s and SUVs, became illegal in the European Union, after having been banned on all new cars in 2002... Vehicle colour A Swedish study found that pink cars are involved in the fewest and black cars are involved in the most crashes (Land transport NZ 2005)... In Auckland New Zealand, a study found that there was a significantly lower rate of serious injury in silver cars; with higher rates in, brown, black, and green cars...

Traffic Collision ... A number of factors contribute to the risk of collision including; vehicle design, speed of operation, road design, road environment, driver skill and/or impairment and driver behaviour. Worldwide motor vehicle collisions lead to death and disability as well as financial costs to both society and the individuals involved...

Alternative Fuel Vehicle ... Since July 2009, more than 13,000 electric cars have been sold in Japan by November 2011, which includes more than 8,000 Leafs and 5,000 i-MiEVs...

Vegetable Oil Fuel ... Periodic petroleum shortages spurred research into vegetable oil as a diesel substitute during the 1930s and 1940s, and again in the 1970s and early 1980s when straight vegetable oil enjoyed its highest level of scientific interest. The 1970s also saw the formation of the first commercial enterprise to allow consumers to run straight vegetable oil in their automobiles, Elsbett of Germany...

Automotive Industry In Turkey ... In 1961 the Devrim sedan was manufactured at the Tülomsaş factory in Eskişehir. It was the first indigenously designed and produced Turkish automobile...

Automotive Industry In Iran ... Since then, Iran has developed its domestic industry where it can design and assemble cars on its own, including a new car factory in Kashan...

Electric Car ... Electric cars were popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century, until advances in internal combustion engine technology and mass production of cheaper gasoline vehicles led to a decline in the use of electric drive vehicle... The energy crises of the 1970s and 80s brought a short-lived interest in electric cars, but in the mid-2000s a renewed interest in the production of electric cars took place, due mainly to concerns about rapidly increasing oil prices and the need to curb greenhouse gas emissions...

Mitigation Of Peak Oil ... For the most part, mitigation involves fuel conservation, and the use of alternative and renewable energy sources. The development of unconventional oil resources can extend the use of petroleum, but does not reduce consumption...

Brass Era Car ... This system specified front-engined, rear-wheel drive internal combustion engined cars with a sliding gear transmission...

History Of Steam Road Vehicles ... Ferdinand Verbiest is suggested to have built what may have been the first steam powered car in about 1672, but very little concrete information on this is known to exist. During the latter part of the 18th century, there were numerous attempts to produce self-propelled steerable vehicles...

Alcohol Fuel ... Most methanol is produced from natural gas, although it can be produced from biomass using very similar chemical processes. Ethanol is commonly produced from biological material through fermentation processes...

DARPA Grand Challenge ... The Grand Challenge was the first long distance competition for driverless cars in the world; other research efforts in the field of Driverless cars take a more traditional commercial or academic approach...

Autonomous Car ... Autonomous cars are not in widespread use, but their introduction could produce several direct advantages: Fewer crashes, due to the autonomous system's increased reliability compared to human drivers Increased roadway capacity due to reduced need of safety gaps for example by platooning, and the ability to better manage traffic flow... Alleviation of parking scarcity as cars could drop off passengers, park far away where space is not scarce, and return as needed to pick up passengers... Adoption of robotic cars could reduce the number of vehicles worldwide, reduce the amount of space required for vehicle parking, and reduce the need for traffic police and vehicle insurance...
