What kind of car was the first made?

There's no single definitive answer to what the "first" car was, as it depends on how you define "car". There's no universally agreed-upon criteria. However, Karl Benz's Patent-Motorwagen from 1886 is widely considered to be the first practical automobile. Other inventors were working on self-propelled vehicles around the same time, but Benz's is generally credited because it was the first to be truly commercially viable and influential.
