The top dead center (TDC) of a piston is the position where it is nearest to the valves; bottom dead center (BDC) is the opposite position where it is furthest from them. A stroke is the movement of a piston from TDC to BDC or vice versa together with the associated process. While an engine is in operation the crankshaft rotates continuously at a nearly constant speed. In a 4-stroke ICE each piston experiences 2 strokes per crankshaft revolution in the following order. Starting the description at TDC, these are:78

Autonomous car - Wikipedia facts:
Fully autonomous vehicles, also known as driverless cars, already exist in prototype (such as the Google driverless car), and are expected to be commercially available around 2020. According to urban designer and futurist Michael E. Arth, driverless electric vehicles?in conjunction with the increased use of virtual reality for work, travel, and pleasure?could reduce the world's 800 million vehicles to a fraction of that number within a few decades.59 This would be possible if almost all private cars requiring drivers, which are not in use and parked 90% of the time, would be traded for public self-driving taxis that would be in near constant use. This would also allow for getting the appropriate vehicle for the particular need?a bus could come for a group of people, a limousine could come for a special night out, and a Segway could come for a short trip down the street for one person. Children could be chauffeured in supervised safety, DUIs would no longer exist, and 41,000 lives could be saved each year in the US alone.6061

Less popular vehicles
The most popular when it comes to automotive, enjoy, of course, cars and motorcycles. With the increasing number of drivers also increases the number of such vehicles on our roads. However, in everyday life may be useful also other machines connected to the most popular vehicles. A good example can be here the equipment needed in agriculture, which is often not independent of the vehicle. Many agricultural machines and used in the construction industry we can associate, for example, a tractor suitable brand, which will certainly be of interest holders of such a vehicle. Of course, there is also a lot of self-propelled agricultural machines, but they are often very expensive.
