Идея «автомобиля» всегда существовала в мечтах и представлениях человека. Этой идеей еще в XIII веке был одержим Роджер Бэкон – английский философ и ученый. Она также отражена, на рисунках Леонардо да Винчи, предвидевшего (foresee) возможность замены лошадиной силы (horse power) силой пара и создания нового способа передвижения (moving). Установить единственного обладателя «эксклюзивного патента» (patent) на автомобиль невозможно. Энергетическая система автомобиля развивалась тремя путями. Фактически за место в «новорожденном» автомобиле (new-born motor-car) вплоть до начала XIX столетия боролись паровая машина, двигатель внутреннего сгорания и электродвигатель.
