There is no actual defined inventor of the automobile, but if you had to lay credit on someone, you would probably have to give it to Karl Benz. Many believe that he created the first car from 1885-1886, but America would soon come to dominate the car market, namely Ford.
Although it is widely thought that Henry Ford invented the car, he actually perfected the assembly line process. He didn't even invent the assembly line!
