Inventors
Carl Benz
Born in 1844 in southwestern Germany, Carl Benz designed and patented the world's first practical gasoline-powered automobile — the Patent-Motorwagen — in 1886. His wife Bertha's pioneering 106-kilometer road trip proved the vehicle's viability to a skeptical public. Benz laid the foundation for what would become Mercedes-Benz and the modern automotive industry.
