a device that carries people or goods through space by moving on wheels using energy

Car (noun) means: a device that carries people or goods through space by moving on wheels using energy. It emerges from device, machine, energy, carrying: the arranged parts powered by energy move through space to transport people or goods. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 14, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
