People have been driving cars since 1883, but much has changed since then. People no longer have to walk around, take trains, or rely on animals to pull their carriges and vehicles. Today, people are able to grab their keys, hop in the car, and drive off, no hassle.
This is all thanks to Karl Benz, the inventor of the first automobile. Benz lived in Germany from his birth on November 25, 1844 to April 4th 1929, at the time of his death. In 1885, he released his invention, the Moterwagen. It was a 3 wheeled vehicle, with a motor attached to the back. There is one seat, centered on top of the machine, and the wheels are very thin. There were no tires on this early design, just plain wooden wheels. The point of this invention was to …show more content…
This motor works when the accelerator pedal is pushed down, opening a valve, where gas streams into the engine. Gas is then burned in the engine, causing pistons to revolve. The pressure from the pistons presses on wheels, which turn, and the rotation of the wheels propel the car forward. The car also has a break pedal, which you can press for medal to press down on your wheels, and lock the wheels, stopping then from spinning.
Cars are also built on an assembly line, where workers, and sometimes machines, stand along a conveyor belt or line, and each does a specific task, adding something to the car, or fixing something. By the end of the line, it is completly assembled and ready to be put in stores. Cars and their parts are made from metals, plastics, glass, rubber, leather and sometimes more expensive materials. Special features in an automobile could include clocks, radios, built in global posistioning systems, power outlets and lighters.
The original design started simple, basic, on a smaller frame, with only one seat. Today, Automobiles are very large, with family vehicles sometimes carrying up to 8 people. They also have lots of storage space, and can be very sleek. There are many different body designs, interior models, paint schemes, details and upgrades you can choose to buy. Some people take great pride in having nice looking
