It is generally claimed that the first automobiles with gasoline powered internal combustion engines were completed almost simultaneously in 1886 by German inventors working independently, Gottlieb Daimler on 3 July 1886 in Mannheim and later Karl Benz and Wilhelm Maybach in Stuttgart.
The large scale, production-line manufacturing of affordable automobiles was debuted by Oldsmobile in 1902, then greatly expanded by Henry Ford in the 1910s.
Current research and development is centred on "hybrid" vehicles that use both electric and combustion (pollution) power, and longer-term efforts are based around electric vehicles powered by fuel cells.

 Automobile ancillary power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ultimate source of power for most of them is the automobile's main power source—normally an internal combustion engine of some kind—but some way of transferring power to the vehicle's ancillary systems is required.
These may include ancillary systems that directly service the engine; the water pump, fuel pump, oil pump, cooling fan, etc. Another class of mechanically connected ancilliaries are those that require large amounts of power; for example, an air conditioning compressor.
Because of the varying electrical power available from such a generator as engine speed changed, the generator was not connected directly to a car's electrical systems but rather through a lead-acid battery which enabled a more constant, smoothed flow of power and a limited supply of that power even with the engine off.

The automobile powered by the Otto gasoline engine was invented in Germany by Karl Benz in 1885.
The internal-combustion-engine automobile really can be said to have begun in Germany with Karl Benz in 1885, and Gottlieb Daimler in 1889, for their vehicles were successful, they went into series-production, and they inspired others.
Among other items Karl Benz invented for the automobile are the carburetor, the speed regulation system known also as an accelerator, ignition using sparks from a battery, the spark plug, the clutch, the gear shift, and the water radiator.

In 2006, the automobile is recognized as a primary source of world-wide air pollution and a cause of substantial noise pollution and adverse health effects.
One of the earliest recorded automobile fatalities was Mary Ward, on 1869-08-31 in Parsonstown, Ireland, an early victim in the United States was Henry Bliss on 1899-09-13 in New York City, NY.
As opposed to public transport, the automobile is characterised by high fixed costs and low variable costs, making it most attractive for frequent travellers such as commuters, and least attractive for infrequent and/or flexible travellers, such as people who use their car for weekend trips only.

 Presse: Full power at all times - Siemens VDO develops energy managers for the automobile
For example, the power requirements of a turbocharger and other electronic drivetrain components in passing or overtaking operating conditions can be met by decreasing the electrical consumption of the seat heating element for a few milliseconds.
A particularly high power supply is required during starting, enabling even the largest engines to be brought to life in all weather conditions.
However, fuel cells attain their maximum power output after few minutes of operation, requiring energy management and high-capacity energy accumulators to continue to be needed in the future.

 Power window - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Power windows or electric windows are automobile windows which can be raised and lowered by depressing a button or switch, as opposed to using a hand-turned crank handle.
The power moonroof, a transparent, retractable sunroof, may be considered as an extension of the power window concept.
Power windows are usually inoperable, when the car is not running, as the electrical system is not 'live' once the ignition has been turned off.

As far as I know, killing power tests of big game rifle cartridges along the lines of the famous Strasbourg handgun cartridge stopping power experiment, in which hundreds of instrumented goats of standardized size were shot under carefully controlled conditions, have never been performed.
Energy is a pretty good rough estimate of killing power as long as you are comparing two reasonably similar rifle calibers and bullets that are not too dissimilar in sectional density.
Most killing power formulas should be taken with a large dose of salt, as they tend to reflect the prejudices of their creators.
