What year was the first car made?

Answer 1

This question is open to some debate. The first vehicle using mechanicals that directly led to today's automobile was built by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, of Germany, in 1889. Other self-propelled vehicles, not counting railroads, had been designed and built for at least 100 years before Daimler and Maybach. However, the 1889 vehicle was distinctive due to its direct evolution from the horse-drawn carriage and, as we all know, was soon mass produced.
