What was the second car ever invented?

The second car ever invented is a matter of debate. Some sources claim that the second car was invented by George B. Selden in 1877, but his car was not actually built until 1895. Others argue that the second car was invented by Karl Benz in 1885, with his Benz Patent Motor Car. However, there is evidence that the first steam-powered car was built by Nicholas Cugnot in 1769, more than a century before. While not widely considered to be a true automobile, Leonardo Da Vinci sketched out the first designs of an automobile in the late 15th century.
