Defying criticisms and forecasts, the use of the automobile is still growing remarkably. It has been established that this growth is dependant upon a veritable system combining many sions: public and private, material and "immaterial", mobile and immobile, technological and human. The automotive system has been described as a fabulous public transportation system, in which every user brought his car... We will show how this system, in a better way than others, did in the past, does now, and will in the future allow for various and new adaptations of human territories. We will conclude that being such a universal territorial adapter is one of the keys of the success experienced by the automobile throughout the world.
