Who built the first motor vehicle?

            In 1771, Nicolas Cugnot produced what was probably the first self-powered vehicle, driven by steam. In 1801, the Englishman Richard Trevithick ran a steam car along a road in Cornwall, reaching a speed of 14 km/h. From then until the end of the 1800s, all successful road vehicles were powered by steam, although there were many experiments with petrol engines. Then in 1885 Karl Benz in Germany built the first successful modern motor car, powered by a petrol engine.
