| The history of the automobile began around 4,000 years ago with the invention of the first wheel used for transportation (in India) In the early 15th century, the ortugese arrived in china, and the interaction of the two cultures lead to a host fo new technologies, including the creation of a wheel that turned under it's own power. By the 1600's small steam-powered engine models had been developed, although it was another century before a full-sized engine-powered vehicle was introduced. |
