Who first used Wind Tunnel testing on automobiles?
Malcolm Sayer (For Jaguar) - He was an aircraft designer who moved to Jaguar and designed the iconic E type Jaguar. This was the first vehicle to be tested in a wind tunnel. With respect to the previous contributor, development of another "iconic" automobile, the SAAB 92, was underway more than a decade before Jaguar began development of the E-type. The SAAB 92, developed by aircraft engineers & designers, was one of the first (if not the first) moderately-priced, volume-produced car whose shape was perfected through wind tunnel testing. Its coefficient of drag in the low 0.30s backs up that claim.
What are wind tunnels and why do designers use them?
A subsonic wind tunnel is a wind tunnel that cannot take testing to Mach 1 (the speed of sound). There are a wide variety of wind tunnels, and they come in a broad range of sizes, too. They span models from ones that test motorcycle helmets to ones that test a whole small aircraft or aircraft model. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the wind tunnel, and you'll find that link below.

How does wind tunnel affect the environment?
It doesn't directly. A wind tunnel is used to detect the airflow over objects such as cars and planes to improve the streamlining.
