The first automobile?


In reading about "alternative" cars, I got curious about what the first automobile actually was, and when it was built. While there are various candidates, it seems as though this steam-powered monster, built by Nicolas Cugnot in France in 1769, is one of the main contenders. It's in the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris.
