The 1800s

Category: Chronological Archive
Notes: The 1800s are the very beginnings of the automobile as we know it today. The first self-propelled vehicle capable of carrying its own driver was created in 1769 when a steam engine was attached to a wagon and the resulting fardier à vapeur was capable of carrying a load at a little over 2 miles per hour, and throughout the 1800s others experimented and developed the technologies that would come together in what history considers the first automobile: the 1886 Benz Patent Motor Car.
