The first automobiles were developed in the late 1800's. These horseless carriages were small and unreliable. They traveled only about as fast as a man could run. Early drivers had to deal with unpaved roads and constant breakdowns. Automobiles makers have made many developments over the years. Today cars are more comfortable and reliable. We owe these advancements to many people. No one person can be given full credit for inventing the automobile. Many people around the world made contributions.
In 1678, Ferdinand Verbiest built a working model of a car powered by steam. In 1769, Nicholas J. Cagnot built one of the first full-sized, self-powered vehicles that could travel about two miles per hour. By 1801 an English man, Richard Trevithica built another crudesteam-powered carriage. In 1829 Sir G. Gurney built and drove his steam carriage. The transformation from horse-drawn carriages to the Tin Lizze of the early 1900’s was the result of much human innovation. Although the steam carriages were a step in the right direction many people objected to these snorting monsters. These contraptions frightened horses, children, and ruined the roads. These steam carriages also gave competition to the railroads and stagecoach lines. In 1805, Oliver Evans an American inventor demonstrated his first combination steam wagon and flatboat. It was successful because it was used to dredge Philadelphia’s harbor. Other Americans like the Stanley twins developed their version of the steam carriage. The Stanley Steamers were manufactured from 1896 until 1925. Ruff streets and roads actually shook some of these machines to pieces. People also were concerned about riding along with a boiler of live steam. The burners of these steam-powered automobiles often developed trouble. Inventors were constantly looking for less complicated ways to improve car engines.
The type of engine used in the modern car was developed in Europe. In 1863, Jean Joseph Lenoir, a French inventor used a one-cylinder engine powered by gas to run a clumsy vehicle that he drove six miles. The development of the gas engine allowed for new designs. Some of these new gas powered vehicles resembled tricycles or horse carts. Steering was usually done by tiller and maximum speed topped 30 miles per hour.
