Automobiles

An automobile is a vehicle that moves on four wheels and is one of our primary methods of transportation. Automobiles are also known as cars or vehicles. Trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUV), and minivans are different types of automobiles, and are sometimes referred to as cars, vehicles, or motor vehicles.

Automobiles are usually powered by an internal combustion engine using gasoline or diesel fuel, or by one or more electric motors, using energy stored in one or more rechargeable batteries.

In Arizona, automobiles, which include cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans, are subject to state statutes and federal laws that govern their operation, registration, and safety standards. All motor vehicles operating on Arizona roads must be registered with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Motor Vehicle Division (MVD). This involves obtaining a title and paying registration fees. Automobiles must also pass an emissions test if they are used in certain urban areas. Drivers are required to have a valid driver's license and carry minimum liability insurance. Safety standards are enforced through vehicle inspections and adherence to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Additionally, Arizona has laws that regulate the use of alternative fuel vehicles, including those powered by electricity, and offers incentives for the use of such eco-friendly vehicles.
