Gottlieb Daimler did invent it
Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724-1803).
There were several changes. 1. Gottlieb von Jagow (till 1916). 2. Arthur Zimmermann (1916-17). 3. Richard Kuehlmann (1917-1918). 4. Paul von Hintze (1918). 5. Wilhelm Solf (1918).
Born 7 May 1837; died 4 Apr 1875. Karl (Gottlieb) Mauch was a German explorer who made geological and archaeological discoveries in southern Africa, notably the Tati goldfields in Hartley Hills (1867) and the Great Zimbabwe ruins of an ancient city (1871), both in modern Zimbabwe. He was the first European to investigate the massive and extensive walls of the Great Zimbabe ruins, the biggest and most significant structures erected before the modern era. He wrongly held that they could not have been constructed by black Africans. He thought it was the palace of Queen Sheeba and he called it "the city of gold." However, he did make a detailed floor plan of monuments, describe building techniques and the religious acitivies conducted around the monument.
The very first self-powered road vehicles were powered by steam engines and by that definition Nicolas Joseph Cugnot of France built the first automobile in 1769. Most history books say that the automobile was invented by either Gottlieb Daimler or Karl Benz? It is because both Daimler and Benz invented highly successful and practical gasoline-powered vehicles that ushered in the age of modern automobiles. Daimler and Benz invented cars that looked and worked like the cars we use today. However, it is unfair to say that either man invented "the" automobile. The vehicle Cugnot invented did not look or work like a modern automobile, but never the less it was a self-powered vehicle, and therefore an automobile, and it was the first.
