The car or automobile was invented in the late nineteenth century. Only later was the word car used.

The car offers god comfort and is a good means of transportation that typically gives car owners more freedom than most kinds of public transport. Most cars run on petrol or diesel which unfortunately means there is a cost in terms of the environment. In recent years this has turned into an actual political debate.

There are many different types of cars, small cars, big cars, fast cars and slow cars, economically suited family cars and expensive sports cars.

Keynote speakers on cars may choose to focus on the history of cars, on the consequences of cars in terms of the environment, on traffic and safety, on car racing and much more.
