Automobiles are a type of road vehicle that carries its own internal combustion engine and can be used for passenger or goods transport. Traditionally, they have been four-wheeled.
History of Automobiles
In 1806 a Swiss named Francois Isaac de Rivaz designed the world’s first car powered by an internal combustion engine (sometimes abbreviated to “ICE”). This was not a successful design and remained largely unknown until it was developed and patented in 1886 by German inventor Carl Benz.
Benz’s invention is considered to be the beginning of the modern automobile. It was a breakthrough in technology that allowed people to move from place to place more efficiently and safely than ever before.
Despite their advantages, there are also some disadvantages to owning a car. The most obvious is that they release a large amount of pollution into the air. This can lead to health problems like respiratory illness and cancer. In addition, cars can be expensive to buy and maintain.
