1.1 INTRODUCTION
Automobile history begins after the development of important scientific discoveries in the
fields of electricity, mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials.
Somehow, it could be considered as automobile antecedents: the discovery of static
electricity by Thales of Miletus in 600 B.C., the inventions of Otto Von Guerick (1672),
Andreas Gordon (1742), Franklin Youngest child (1747), and Nicholas Cugnot, who
constructed in France the first automobile made of wood. However, the first important
landmark in the history of the automobile can be placed in 1908 with the starting of the
manufacture line of the Ford Model T.
That was the moment when the foundations of the later-named Second Industrial
Revolution appeared, which allowed several million people to access a low-cost way of
transport. In fact, since then transportation has constituted one of the strategic axes of
the industrial development. Proof of the automobile’s impact in society is that, at the
moment, many of the main world industrial companies center their activity in automobile
manufacturing.
