Since the dawn of man's existence he has looked for and worked at making his efforts in accomplishing tasks as less exhausting as possible and putting that burden on either animals or some sort of machinery. It was only a matter of time before necessity and ingenuity brought about inventions of making man's tasks easier and more productive.

The first documented drawings of something that could carry a person that was not pulled or pushed by an animal and propelled by it's own power and operated by a person riding in it, was in the late 1400's by Leonardo da vinci of Italy. He called them "Carriages without horses." He drew many plans for this and other forms of transport, but focused more on his art than trying to actually makes these modes of transport a reality.

It wasn't until almost 300 years later, somewhere around 1672 when Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China, built the first steam-powered vehicle as a toy for the Chinese Emperor (Enkh Amgalan Khaan). It was small and not big enough to carry a person but it was probably the first working steam-powered vehicle.

Self-propelled steam-powered vehicles big enough to carry people and cargo were first developed in the late 1700's. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot demonstrated his "fardier à vapeur" ("steam dray"), an experimental steam-driven tractor somewhere in 1770 and 1771. Cugnot's design proved to be impractical and was not developed in his native country of France.

The focus of the Horseless Carriage shifted to England and by 1784, William Murdoch had built a working model of a steam carriage in Redruth, England and in 1801 Richard Trevithick was driving a full-sized vehicle on the roads of Camborne Cornwall, England.

The first patent granted for the automobile in the United States was to Oliver Evans in 1789.
