Not as different as you might think. The steam engine was already in widespread use in industry and transportation, and was an early contender for the automobile as well. It only lost out to the I.C. engine because OIL was dirt cheap and readily available at the time. The world might be dirtier, and we probably wouldn't be at war in Iraq...

It almost HAD to be invented. Progress required it. Something was needed to transport people faster and easier than horses. Steam power was never practical for cars and batteries of the time were not very good alternatives since efficient chargers were not available and not every town even had electricity or running water. A German named Diesel with help from his friend Mr. Benz made the first internal combustion engine, not Henry Ford.

We'd still have cars, but they wouldn't be the same. The electric car was actually invented before the gas powered car, but wasn't as good.
