For example, in New South Wales, Australia, the Roads & Traffic Authority Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Modifications (in use since 1994) states in clause 3.1.5.7.3 that The use or fitment of nitrous oxide injection systems is not permitted. The Canadian National Collision Database (NCDB) system defines "passenger car" as a unique class, but also identifies two other categories involving passenger vehicles-the "passenger van" and "light utility vehicle"-and these categories are inconsistently handled across the country with the boundaries between the vehicles increasingly blurred. A very unusual feature of the system was that cars on some of its routes traveled via inclined railways to serve areas on hills near downtown. Portland, Oregon, opened a modern streetcar system in 2001 that was credited with generating significant new property development in what had been decaying areas adjacent to downtown. In Germany the Stadtbahnwagen B was a modern tram (or tram-train) hybrid built to run on heavy rail tracks in a premetro type of system. In 1989, Audi produced its first iteration of the Audi Duo (the Audi C3 100 Avant Duo) experimental vehicle, a plug-in parallel hybrid based on the Audi 100 Avant quattro. These are new generation hybrid ECUs that combine the functionalities of multiple ECUs of Infotainment Head Unit, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Instrument Cluster, Rear Camera/Parking Assist, Surround View Systems etc. This saves on the cost of electronics as well as mechanical/physical parts like interconnects across ECUs etc. There is also a more centralized control so data can be seamlessly exchanged between the systems.

As of July 2020, Massachusetts was the single state that had adopted a "right to repair law". In July 2013, the City of Cincinnati signed a contract for the construction of the tracks, power system, and maintenance facility. Cincinnati was one of only three cities in North America whose streetcars used double overhead trolley wire (two wires for each track) and twin trolley poles on each streetcar, the only others being Havana, Cuba, and the small Merrill, Wisconsin system. In 1947, San Francisco's cable car system was threatened with closure for similar reasons. Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine - combustion takes place internally. The difference in vehicle characteristics between PAVs and existing General Aviation single engine piston aircraft was set out in 2003 at an American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) conference.
Ferguson Research Ltd. built the front-engined P99 Formula One car that actually won a non-World Championship race with Stirling Moss in 1961. In 1968, Team Lotus raced cars in the Indy 500 and three years later in Formula 1 with the Lotus 56, that had both turbine engines and 4WD, as well as the 1969 4WD-Lotus 63 that had the standard 3-litre V8 Ford Cosworth engine. That part of the business has remained with Robert Bosch Car Multimedia GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH. Streetcars remained the main form of public transportation for the city until the growing usage of the automobile caused ridership to wane. This was the death knell of the incline, following complaints that it was "unsightly," cost too much, caused roadblocks, and was rendered useless by the automobile. Later, as the syndicate that owned Cincinnati Street Railway was buying out other lines to create a monopoly, they may have leveraged alleged complaints about buzzing sounds on phone lines to file suit, through the phone company (which was owned by the same syndicate) against their competetor, Cincinnati Inclined Plane Company (which used traditional single-wire overhead).
The cars would be driven onto the incline platform, which was level and was equipped with rails and (in most cases) overhead trolley wires. Most, if not all, EVs will come with a portable Level 1 cordset, so no additional charging equipment is required. That is a level of monopoly unavailable to any other entity. The costs of extended litigation weakend the Cincinnati Incline Plane Company, which was eventually absorbed by CincinnatI Street Railway. In Cincinnati, the primary early streetcar operating company, the Cincinnati Street Railway, chose to install double-wire starting in 1889, to comply with a City requirement not to tear up freshly paved streets to install ground return bonding on their embedded track. 222 miles (357 km) of track and carried more than 100 million passengers per year. With the improvement of local highways beginning before World War II, citizens were able to own more land and still be able to conveniently drive into the city to enjoy its benefits.
