The speedometer was invented by Dutch engineer and inventor, Otto Schultze, who patented the device in 1902. It was initially created for bicycles to measure speed using a rotation sensor that calculated the speed based on the rotation of the wheel. The technology was later adapted for automobiles to provide real-time speed readings to drivers.
