 HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE Development started as early as the 17th century with the invention of the first  steam-powered  vehicle,   which led to the creation of the first steam-powered automobile capable of human transportation, built by  Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot  in 1769.  Inventors began to branch out at the start of the 19th century, creating the  de Rivas engine , one of the first  internal combustion engines ,  and an early  electric motor .   Samuel Brown  later tested the first industrially applied internal combustion engine in 1826.                                      Development was hindered in the mid-19th century by a backlash against large vehicles, yet progress continued on some internal combustion engines. The engine evolved as engineers created  two-  and  four-cycle  combustion engines and began using  gasoline  as fuel. Production vehicles began appearing in 1887, when Karl Benz developed a petrol or gasoline-powered automobile and made several identical copies.   Recent
