When was the car first made?

[SethHedley]

I’m curious about the history of vehicles and inventions. Can someone explain when was the car first made and who invented the first real car?

The very first practical car was manufactured in 1885 by Karl Benz. This car is called the Benz Patent Motorwagen. Most people agree that 1886 is the year of the car's invention, as Benz made the car patent official in that year.

The first modern automobile is widely credited to Karl Benz, who patented the Benz Patent-Motorwagen in 1886. This vehicle featured a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine and three wheels. While others had experimented with steam-powered vehicles earlier, the Benz invention paved the way for the mass production of the cars we use today, fundamentally changing how humanity approaches travel and urban development.
