Who invented te first car?

There's no single inventor of the first car, as it was a gradual process of invention and refinement. Many people contributed to its development. However, Karl Benz is generally credited with inventing the first practical automobile in 1886. His Benz Patent-Motorwagen is widely considered the ancestor of the modern car. While others were experimenting with self-propelled vehicles around the same time, Benz's design was the first to be truly successful and commercially viable.
