a car that carries people

Auto (noun) means: a car that carries people. It emerges from matter, energy, car, carrying: energy drives matter arranged as a car that can move, carrying people by applying force through wheels. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 21, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
