Question

Who invented the first car?

The car was an important invention for mankind and since prehistory, there are records of primitive forms of wheel use. If we're talking about the first modern automobile, then it's Karl Benz, in 1886. But long before him, there were strange forerunners to today's cars, including toys for emperors, steam-powered artillery carriers, and clanking, creaking British buses. Humans have possessed knowledge of the wheel for several thousand years, and we've been using animals as a source of transportation for nearly that long. So, in some sense, the earliest forerunners of the car date back to the earliest mists of our prehistory
