General Auto History It is important to remember the necessary inventions which led up to the creation of the automobile. Pre 1800s Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot built a steam powered gun tractor capable of 2 mph. Surprisingly, in addition to pulling an artillery piece, the vehicle could carry several people. Twenty years later, the first US patent on a steam-powered land vehicle (not an automobile) was granted to Oliver Evans. The Automobile goes back to the 1880s in Germany & France with the likes of Herron Daimler and Benz.
