Automobiles have been around for many years, but it is only recently that their technological innovation has reached the mainstream. We have become accustomed to cars thanks to the invention of the internal combustion engine. Benz was responsible for making this technology possible, and in 1885 he built the first motorwagen in Mannheim, Germany. On 29 January 1886, Benz received a patent for this vehicle. The first Benz company was founded in 1883, and in 1893 the first four-wheeler was introduced. The Benz company produced these first cars with four-stroke engines, and a few years later, Benz produced his first gasoline-powered car.
