inventions, that we couldn't imagine how
it would be to live without now a days,
like the car and the light bulb.

3. Time Line

Karl benz
created the first
model of a car
moved by a
motor that used
steam
as fuel and could
run up to 10 miles
per hour.
Henry Ford changed
the way of production,
starting the moving
assembly line,
where people would
produce the
cars piece by piece
and made the
first car that was able
to change its parts.
1886 1904 1957 1976 2023
Made by volkswagen,
the Kombi was a
bigger car, created
with the ideia of
transporting more
people, like a whole

events in the
automobilistic
industry.

of car show lots of
new functions to
protect the driver and
passengers, besides

6. Why was it invented?
The car was ivevnted to make
people's life easier, by gaining time
and energy during the day, because
going everyday to work far from
home for example was really hard.
When it was created, people wanted
to buy and we can't imagine our lives
without a car now a days.
There were some models before
the one that Karl Benz created, but
no one worked really well, or there
was no motor, besides moving too
slow. It made people refuse to
purchase and use those cars.
