They are not even called road roller, just rollers for example.

You can also get smaller ones that vibrate, just saying..

It's a road-roller, but I'd say steamroller is still common enough to use.

What do people call steamrollers these days?

I'd hate to sound like one of those pompous old fogeys who talk about wirelesses instead of radios, or "motor cars".

But it occurred to me that what I refer to as steamrollers haven't been stream-driven for a good 70 years now. So is there a more up-to-date word for them?
