2 Horses had dreams of them since time immemorial, but it was only in the 18th
century that the first horseless carriage actually hit the roads. Seeds of this idea
actually originated only through horses which intended them to invent HORSELESS
CARRIAGES!

2 The ¦
 of the automobile actually began about 4,000 years ago when the first
wheel was used for transportation in India.

2 Carl Benz and Gotttlieb Daimler (both Germans) for their efforts laid the foundation
of the great motor industry as we know it today. ½irst, Carl Benz invented the petrol
engine in 1885 and a year later Daimler made a car driven by motor of his own
design and the rest is ¦
.

2 The first automobile to carry passengers was built in 1801 by the British
inventor Richard Trevithick. His initial success was based on the M




of his power unit, which was the first to have the
piston moved by steam at high pressure. Earlier power units had pistons that
moved as a result of atmospheric pressure against the vacuum produced by the
condensation of steam.

2 The first internal-combustion engine was designed by the Dutch scientist
Christian Huygens in 1678; it was to have been fueled with gunpowder, but it
was never built.

2 Thus, Automobile Industry is that ± The carriage that moves on
its own!!!

2 We can even conclude that, the dream a carriage that moved on

its own was realized only in the 18th century when the first car
rolled on the streets. Steam, petroleum gas, electricity or petrol
(sold at the chemist's in the beginning) started being used for
driving these funny car s that looked more or less like horseless
carriages.
