Automotive is the capacity or condition of what moves by itself, study and description of the machines that move by the action of an engine and particularly of the industrial sector related to the automotive industry.
A car can be described as a motorized vehicle that takes its name from the ability of self-movement, that is, it does not need human strength or any animal to move from one place to another. It is a vehicle powered by an internal combustion or combustion engine that is specially designed for land transportation of people.
And, on the other hand, the term is used to designate the automotive industry, that is, the industrial sector linked to automobiles.
Notably industry above includes the design, development and automotive manufacturing, after the assembly of parts, sales and repair, and is one of the most important level world as a result of the large amount of work generated directly, ie, in the same factories and also indirectly by the impressive component industry that walks alongside them.
Innovations introduced to the car by engineers include automatic gears, hydraulic braking and steering systems, air conditioning, and engines with very high compression ratios. Although piston internal combustion engines have met the needs of motor vehicles for more than half a century, these engineers have been investigating other possible sources of energy and have successfully built experimental models of vehicles powered by gas turbine engines.. They have also developed and implemented improved alloys and other substances that reduce the effects of corrosion, weathering, wear and other damaging natural agents.
The need for these specialists is progressively felt, not only to improve the products of this industry, but also to create more efficient processing and production methods.
The automotive industry was the first to put point chain assembly and other systematic, more or less automatic, almost perfect methods. The integration of these systems is a constant challenge to the inventiveness of the engineer, from which the final product benefits. This type of engineering is studied in many schools and universities. In some countries there is a degree and a degree in automotive engineering.
