Someone posed this question to me, and I thought it was interesting. My position is that the engine and transmission are vital parts that make a car functional, and therefore it can’t be considered an automobile if it can’t move on its own. My opponents position is that it can still be considered an automobile if it has the potential to function on its own, once all the parts are included. What do you think?
