The car is a   very old invention that is very useful to 

transport anything. But what did the people do before 

the car was invented? How did they transport? The first 

transport, of course, was walking. Later, the people 

started using donkeys and horses to travel or transport 

anything. Around 3500 B.C. the wheel was invented. So 

the people started using the wheel to made transports 

like carriages. The carriages were used to do long 

distances and journeys. 

The inventor of the first automobile was Nicholas-Joseph Caugno . 

He lived in France (26 February-2 october 1804) he is famous 

because he invented the first mechanical vehicle, in the world.

The following year, a full-size version of the ''fardier à vapeur'' was 

built, specified to be able to carry 4 tons.

With the French Revolution, Caugnot's pension was withdrawn in 

1789, and the inventor went into exile in Brussels, where he lived in 

poverty. Shortly before his death, he was invited back to France by 

Napoleon Bonaparte and Nicolas-Joseph Caugnot returned to Paris, 

where he died on 2 October 1804.

Mercedes was the first car in the world, but it was too expensive and 

exclusive.

1907 Ford Model T was the first commercial car that nowadays costs 

no more than 1200 dollars.

Daimler and Benz created the world's first car in 1886, naming it 

initially "Daimler-Benz Pattent Motor Wagen". This prototype had 

only three wheels and one gear, reaching a maximum speed of 17 

km / h, with a maximum power of 0.9 horses. Its engine ran on 

petrol, but at the time it was sold only in pharmacies.

There is something obvious and that is the way in which we currently 

operate is completely different from just a decade ago . Although cars 

are still having four 

wheels , the interior is loaded with incredible technology , from security 

systems to the comfort of the occupants.

The point where most researched is the alternative to fossil fuels. 

Although we don't see many electric cars or moved by another energy 

in our cities , doesn't mean that they aren't investigating it. Hydrogen 

and electricity will be the energy types that are going to use in the 

future.
