[VonDelilah]

The origin and evolution of the automobile are as follows: 1. Invention of the vehicle: It is said that the chariot was first created during the era of the Yellow Emperor. Legend has it that vehicles were invented over 5,000 years ago during the Yellow Emperor's reign. 2. Birth of the steam-powered automobile: In 1769, Frenchman N·J·Cugnot built the world's first steam-powered three-wheeled automobile. 3. Birth of the internal combustion engine automobile: The world's first automobile was successfully developed by German Karl Benz in October 1885, setting the fundamental design principles for automobiles. 4. Birth of the first four-wheel automobile: In 1881, Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach collaborated to establish what was then considered the first automobile factory. On August 15, 1883, Daimler and Maybach invented the gasoline internal combustion engine. 5. Application of turbocharging in automobiles: In 1918, when turbochargers glowed red during operation, people questioned whether their operation mode would shorten engine lifespan and incur high maintenance costs. Today, turbocharged engines are used in an increasing number of automobiles and more widely in sports cars.
