    Ever sense the invention of cars the world has changed in many ways.  Some of these ways are that we can go to places much faster.  It also makes getting food and other supplies across wide stretches of land possible.  Without cars it would take us much longer to get to places, and deliver things.

    The first car designs was made by both Leonardo Da Vinci And Isacis Newton.  They did not invent them though.  The first person to invent the first car was Nicolas Joseph Cugnot. Cugnot lived from 1725 to 1804 during the time she was alive he invented many things.  In 1769 she invented the first self propelled vehicle which was an army tractor.  Next she built  an army supplies carrier.  The army carrier went 2½ miles per hour, but had to stop every 15 minutes to make more steam.  All of the Steam engines that Cugnot made ran on steam from a steam engine .  The steam engine in her second vehicle that she made was located in the front.   Finally she invented a 4 passenger tricycle.  This was her last invention because she crashed, and killed somebody.  Making her not get paid.  If you would to know more about car types.
