Who was the first person to make a moving car?

There's no single answer to who made the "first" moving car, as it depends on how you define "car" and "moving". Many inventors contributed to the development of the automobile over time.

However, Karl Benz is generally credited with inventing the first practical automobile. His Benz Patent-Motorwagen, built in 1886, is widely considered the first true automobile because it was a self-propelled vehicle designed for personal transportation and had features that later cars would build upon. While others had built self-propelled vehicles before, Benz's was more complete and commercially viable.
