| The modern automobile is usually driven by a water-cooled, piston-type internal-combustion engine, mounted in the front of the vehicle; its power may be transmitted either to the front wheels, to the rear wheels, or to all four wheels. |
| Automobiles with gasoline-electric hybrid engines first appeared on the consumer market in 1999; unhampered by the AFV’s limitations, sales of these vehicles increased steadily at the beginning of the 21st cent. |
| Development of the automobile was retarded for decades by over-regulation: speed was limited to 4 mph (6.4 kph) and until 1896 a person was required to walk in front of a self-propelled vehicle, carrying a red flag by day and a red lantern by night. |
