A Closer Look at the Automobile Have you ever heard the phrase "________________________________________________"? Do you know what it means? For our purposes here it means that people who design transportation technologies are building on the ideas of great people who came before them. Without the work of these early giants in the field, the automobile as we know it wouldn't exist. In this lesson you will learn about some of the giants whose ideas made the modern automobile possible. The First Automobile When do you think the first automobile was invented? Was it fifty years ago? One hundred? One hundred and fifty? You might be surprised to learn that the first automobile was invented over ___________ years ago by a Frenchman named Nicholas ___________________. Cugnot's automobile was powered by _________________ and reached an alarming (for the time) speed of almost _____ kilometres per hour. Unfortunately for Cugnot, he _________________ his automobile into a wall and destroyed it (the world's first car accident). Poor Cugnot didn't have the money to rebuild it.
