INTRODUCTION
The reason why I choose to research about The History of The Automobile is because my interest in cars. Ive been interested in cars for a while, so I thought it would we be appropriate to do my senior project on them. I also thought it would be good for my research on this topic, because I plan to major in field that relates to it.

The History
The first car was built by Joseph Cugnot in 1769. It was powered by a steam engine and was very slow. Jean Joseph tienne Lenoir was the first to build the one cylinder engine, internalcombustion engine, was later patent.

The History
Nikolaus August Otto built the first four cylinder engine. In 1886 Gottlieb Daimler designed the first four wheeled automobile. They also created the first v-slanted engine. Karl Benz, know as one of the founders of MercedesBenz, is the first to build an automobile powered by an internal combustion engine. Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach with Benzs manufacturing firm in 1926 to create Daimler-Benz. The joint company makes cars today under the Mercedes-Benz nameplate, and Daimler Chrysler

 Henry Ford, a famous car company founder, designed the worlds biggest car manufacturer, manufacturing over 15 million Model Ts by 1927 Hybrid cars have also been around since the 1900s. In the 1900s Ford made more steam and electric cars than it did gasoline. The first hybrid commercial truck was built in 1910, and as the gasoline engine was refined interest in hybrids died down. As problems with environment and gas process continue, Hybrids are now a hot commodity in the market place and are now the new wave of future cars

The History

Engines
Engines are like the heart of an automobile and function likewise. The engine is made up of seven main parts; the engine block, cylinder head, cylinders, pistons, valves, crankshaft, and camshaft. The engine is also divided into two main parts; an upper section and a lower section. The lower section of the engine is called the engine block. The upper section of the engine is the cylinder head and falls into place on top of the lower section of the engine, connecting cylinders and pistons together

Engines

Electrical engines are one of the two engines that use electricity to power cars. When electric motors first came out they required a lot of space, and a lot of electricity to power them, so cars were bulky and heavy. Automobiles that combine two or more types of engines are called hybrids). A usual hybrid engine is made of an electrical motor with batteries that are recharged by a generator run by a small gas powered engine. Diesel engines are the largest of all engines and are configured just like an internal-combustion engine but it runs 7 of a different fuel.

20th Century and Years upon

In the 1920s they started to evolve and install synchromesh transmissions for easier gear shifting; fourwheel hydraulic brake systems; improved carburetors; shatterproof glass; balloon tires; heaters; and mechanically operated windshield wipers In the 1930s car engines and bodies became large and luxurious.

th 20 Century and Years upon

The computer chip manages most of the car systems today. For instance, the anti-lock brake system is controlled by a computer chip telling, them when to work. They also have GPS systems in cars that help provide directions and guides drivers. Some cars now come equipped with GPS locator beacons, enabling a GPS system operator to locate the vehicle, map its location, and if necessary, direct repair or emergency workers to the scene.

Conclusion
In Conclusion Automobiles have been around centuries. It all started back when a curious Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot, designed a three-wheel automobile, which used a steam engine for an engine. These were the bread crumbs for later in the future, and truly that is what they became. Many inventors followed the bread crumbs and built on what they knew inventing faster and more powerful engines, smaller and smaller cars, and more unique cars as time grew on. Cars have continued to evolve till today and will never stop because theres always someone out there trying to be the next Henry Ford or the next Gottlieb Daimler, or Wilhelm Maybach. Cars have only evolved for a little bit, and as technology continues to become better cars will too.
