Everyday Mysteries: Who Invented the Automobile?
This site answers the question "Who invented the automobile?" by concluding that while the question "does not have a straightforward answer ... [because there] are many different types of automobiles. ... If we had to give credit to one inventor, it would probably be Karl Benz from Germany." Includes a chart showing some of the automobile firsts (such as for steam, gasoline, and electric vehicles). From Science Reference Services, Library of Congress (LOC).
