When was the exact date first car invented?

The invention of the first car is generally attributed to Karl Benz, a German engineer, who designed and built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen in 1885. On January 29, 1886, Benz applied for a patent for his "vehicle powered by a gas engine." The patent was granted on November 29, 1886, and is considered the birth date of the modern automobile.

Benz's Patent-Motorwagen was a three-wheeled vehicle with a four-stroke gasoline engine. It had a top speed of about 10 miles per hour and could travel for about 10 miles on a single gallon of fuel. Benz's invention marked the beginning of the automotive industry, and by the early 20th century, cars had become a common form of transportation.
