Nikolaus Otto developed the internal-combustion engine in 1867. Karl Benz patented the internal-combustion engine in 1879. Gottleib Daimler built a small petrol engine in 1885.
The automotive industry was the net result of the internal combustion engine, because the engine addressed the deficiencies of external combustion engines for road vehicles. The steam engine was the precursor to gas-fired piston engines (1860s), and the invention of the diesel internal combustion engine by Rudolf Diesel, a German scientist, in 1897. An early gasoline engine was built by Wilhelm Maybach in 1890. To this day, the basic form of the engine remains the same, although with many innovations to improve performance and efficiency.
