How Was The First Car Made/ Invented?

The history of Automobiles is very old. It can be traced back to  the year 1769. However, this date is largely controversial.

The first person to make a steam powered self propelled vehicle was  Nicolas Joseph Cugnot. He was in the army and was into inventions since the beginning. He was obsessed with making a self propelled vehicle. So he made an experimental Steam driven artillery tractor in the year 1770.

However, his design was impractical and could not be developed and used further.
