The Automatic Transportation Company of Buffalo, New York was a company that built an electric car in 1921.[1] The car was a 2-seater with a wheelbase of 65" (1650 mm), and a total length of 95" (2411 mm).[1] The Automatic had a top speed of 18 mph (29 kmh), and sold for $1200.[1]

Automatic promised that 60 miles travel could be achieved between charging, and that the car could be parked in a 4' x 8' space.[2] Few of the cars were sold.[2]
