Who invented the automobile?
This question does not have a straight forward answer. The history of the automobile is very rich, and exactly who invented the automobile is a matter of opinion. Was the first car developed by Guido da Vigevano in 1335? Leonardo da Vinci who created designs and models for transport vehicles? Or was it a Catholic priest named Father Ferdinand Verbiest who has been said to have built a steam powered vehicle for the Chinese Emperor Chien Lung about 1678? What did Nicholas Joseph Cugnot create, and how is it recorded in the history books? Find out about Nokolaus Otto, William Steinway, Dr. J. W. Carhart, and others who played their own part in the development of the first automobiles. Find out how these new inventors changed the world when horses were quickly replaced by faster, more dangerous, and more exciting, motor vehicles.
