The history of the world's First Car

The first vehicle that works with steam may first designed by Ferdinand Verbiest, circa 1672. He designed the toy vehicle measuring 65 cm for the kingdom of China, who can not carry passengers. It is not known whether the model vehicles made Verbiest ever produced or not. 1752, Leonty Shamshurenkov, a Russian national, construct a human-powered vehicles. He also completed a homemade vehicle with the odometer. Vehicles that he has made similar to a sleigh. The first steam vehicle was made in the late 18th century. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot successfully demonstrated that three-wheeled vehicles in 1769. The first vehicle to use the power of the steam engine, probably increased the most famous steam engine, was developed in Birmingham, England by the Lunar Society. And also in Birmingham fuel-powered cars were first made in Britain in 1896 by Frederick William Lanchester who also patented the disc brake. In the 1890s, ethanol is used as a source of energy in the United States.





Popularity
Cugnot invention seen in low usage in his native France, and discovery is forwarded to Britain, where Richard Trevithick run-steam wagon in 1801. Vehicles are considered odd at first, but the discoveries in the decade after that, like the hand brake, multi-speed transmission, and increased speed and steering wheel, making it a success. Today, America has more cars than any other country. Japan's lead in making cars, but the Japanese population could not afford to run a car because parking is scarce and expensive fuel prices [Edit] Innovation Cars "Velo" Karl Benz (1894). 

The first automobile patent in the United States granted to Oliver Evans in 1789; in 1804 Evans demonstrated his first car, which not only the first car in the U.S. but also the first amphibious vehicle, a steam-powered vehicle capable of road on land use and the water wheel using the wheel padel.
Generally, the first automobile internal combustion engines that use gasoline made almost simultaneously in 1886 by German inventors working independently. Karl Benz on July 3, 1886 in Mannheim, and Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Stuttgart. 

On 5 November 1895, George B. Selden awarded U.S. patent for a two-stroke engine. This patent gives a negative impact on the development of automobile industry in the U.S.. Spectacular breakthrough by Berta Benz in 1888. Steam, electricity, and gasoline powered autos competed for decades, with gasoline internal combustion engines achieving dominance in the 1910s.
Large-scale production-line manufacturing of affordable automobiles made by Oldsmobile in 1902, and then greatly expanded by Henry Ford in the 1910s. In the period from 1900 to the mid-1920s the development of automotive technology very quickly, due to the large number (hundreds) of small car makers are all vying to grab the attention of the world. 

The main development includes electronic ignition and electronic self-starter (both by Charles Kettering, for the Cadillac Company in the year 1910 to 1911), independent suspension, brakes and four tires. Ford Model T is one of the first affordable automobile consumer (1927).
In the 1930s, mostly in automotive technology has been created, though often re-created at a later date and given credit to others. For example, front-wheel steering recreated by Andre Citroën in the launch of the Traction Avant in 1934, although this technology has appeared several years earlier in cars made by Alvis and Cord, and in racing cars by Miller (and may have appeared in early 1897 ).
