Automobiles are wheeled passenger vehicles that carries its own motor, typically powered by internal combustion of a volatile fuel. During the late 1800s and the early 1900s the automobile transformed American society. It spawned many new industries and services, such as hotels, restaurants, amusement parks, and fast-food chains. The automobile also opened up the countryside to suburban dwellers, and allowed people living in urban areas to visit rural areas. It became a vital force for economic change in America, transforming the economy from one that was based on manufacturing goods to a consumer goods-oriented society. It ranked as the number one source of jobs by the 1920s, and became a global industry.
Thousands of individual parts make up the modern automobile. Like the human body, it has several semi-independent systems: one for cooling and lubrication, another for electrical power, a heart-like engine that uses pistons to move fuel and air through cylinders, tubes that transport the air and fuel, and wheels and tires to propel the automobile.
