Technology and cars are becoming increasingly intertwined, and the latest technology giant to show an interest in the vehicle sector is Facebook, who last month registered several automobile-related website domains.

The various domain names, ending in .auto and .car included Facebook.car, Facebook.auto and Facebook.cars, and led to speculation that the social media site may be developing its own car to rival the likes of Google and Apple.
