The idea of creating a horseless carriage intrigued him. He wanted to learn how to build an engine and eventually opened his own shop. However, the company did not do well, and Benz soon decided to leave.

Henry Ford’s

He began working in a small machine shop at age twelve and eventually built a steam engine. Ford eventually left his job with the Edison Illuminating Company and began work for the Detroit Automobile Company. The company went bankrupt 18 months later.

The history of Daimler’s automobiles dates back to the mid-19th century. In 1892, the company introduced the first gasoline-powered automobile to the British market. Known as the Simms car, it was so famous that whole villages turned out to see it. Simms’ car was not frightening to horses, and he was able to drive it to the Malvern Hills without any problems. In 1903, the Daimler Company received a large amount of enquiries from people interested in buying its cars.

Daimler did occasionally experiment with alternative technologies, however. The company developed the Knight engine in the early twentieth century, which was used in automobiles from 1909 until the end of the Second World War. In addition to this, they patented the fluid flywheel, which was used in conjunction with a Wilson preselector gearbox.
