Cars. Find out the world. Krylov G.A.

When does the history of the car begin? A hundred years ago? No, much earlier...

The word “car” is based on the Greek “car”, which means “itself”, and the Latin “mobile”, which means “mobile”. Thus, the meaning of this word is “self -propelled”. It is no coincidence that the first cars in Russia were called self -propelled strollers. But if self -propelled strollers really appeared only in the last century, then the story just leaves strollers in time immemorial. So, the history of the car in that part that does not concern the engine begins during the prehistoric times, when our distant ancestors made one of the first great inventions in the history of mankind - the wheel.
