No, but it does contain one: mobilis, "movable", which in turn comes from the verb movere, "to move" (via movibilis; Latin 'v' between vowels had a tendency to disappear).

The prefix auto-, on the other hand, is of Greek origin and means "self". An automobile is so named because it moves itself, rather than being pulled by an animal as earlier forms of private transportation were.
