The True Inventor
The automobile is a daily part of our lives, whether it’s on the streets or in your driveway/carport, it’s an everyday use. But who is the true creator of the automobile?

Reason is, is that the information in the passage shows he had his automobile running on its own, made the speed regulation system, and that Ford and Dundgeon were only recognized as the first because they were well known.
In the passage History of Carl Benz it says, “During his years at university he had already started to envision concepts for a vehicle that would eventually become the horseless carriage.” This shows that Benz was already imagining the first automobile before Ford was even born.

In the passage History of Carl Benz it states, “Carl Benz’s true genius became obvious thanks to his successive inventions.” Which implies that his patented creations went a far way because many automobiles still use it
