if it's self propelled, it's required to a have a plate here in the states.

I want to see the title

Seth Aque how about 60 or 90 car?

@@tylerfisher02 The original is in a museum.

@@saridarsaridar7190 A Vintage car still.

So technically this is the first car ever made,

@@Rex-xj4dj not a car because it was made to transport field artillery by the French but it crashed into a wall at 3 mph and they decided it was impractical which it was because it took over an hour to gather enough steam to power it and it really wasn't a car because it wasn't meant for carrying passengers

Why do u see how slow it is bruh?

Nah, your first car is the first car in the world

Hahahaha lol

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

Because it was.

It's older than your country it's the first automobile and was invented in 1769 Nice.

@@ommsterlitz1805 It was made in France. The replica in the video was made in Tampa, Florida. The original French one was so hard to steer that it's inventor accidently drove it into a stone wall. American's like me often dismiss France's contributions to invention and engineering, but that country has always produced some outstanding engineers.

@@joelado Props to him he made the machine with French Royal foot units that dated since Charlemagne unchanged just before they invented metrics

​@@joelado france invented the photograph. thanks france! :)

253 years old lol, invented back in 1769 by Nicolas Joseph Cugnot

@@walleyworld4362 110 years older than 1880. You idiot

Actually this is the first truck of the world

@@samanli-tw3idCould also be considered the first tractor

I wonder if it passes smog...

So basically you can drive down a highway with this bad boy. I want 7

it was actually Louis XVI's

Well they didn’t have cup holders back then 😂 those didn’t come out until later.

The exact replica of the original Cugnot's car exist in France. It runs really at 5.5km/h et can run during 1hour ; it have breaks this time and can't hit a wall. I have asked with some of the people who built it for the performances and i have the chance to be a passenger of this strange car. After one hour it is necessary to filla it with lots of water and charcoal or woodfor the furnace.

@@philippeevrard7686 I doubt it has brakes even now lol, the engine can just slow it by closing the steam valve

@@wildman510 for the original model it is exact that it had no breaks. But for the replica and to be clear with insurances and the law, the new builders were obliged to put a break system on it. The break system in just internal at the rear wheels and a lever beside the driver seat can have an action on this system.

@@wildman510 The french model built in VOID VOICON, the city were Cugnot was born, needs to have break to be clear with insurances and the law, the new builders were obliged to put a break system on it. The break system in just internal at the rear wheels and a lever beside the driver seat can have an action on this system. The model of this vidéo is not the exact replica if we look at some details : the chimneys over the boiler, the shape of the boiler, the support of the boiler and so on...

@@philippeevrard7686 Is that the first car?

I suspect the boiler needed to be rigidly connected to the engine, since flexible couplings in steam pipes were not yet invented, and would not be for some time. The engine seems to have been located on the front wheel for weight distribution, since it serves to counterbalance the weight of the cannon slung under the rear wheels. Think of tractors, with the engine in front and the driving wheels in the rear -- and even they tip backwards sometimes!

He's using it to feed the fire.

@@TheTheotherfoot what a waste!

At least with a Cugnot you can fix it easily and there's no "Check Engine" idiot light like modern cars.

Lol

Time to put a V12 boiler in this puppy

Napoleon was one year old in 1770.

It is considered the first car, but it's more of a tractor than anything else.

Lawrence Lewis I’ve only ever heard of the Benz Motorwagen being labeled the first car. Is there some difference between a car & tractor? I suppose this would be the first “automobile” in general then, if that’s the case.

@@azhurelpigeon It is the first automobile, but it wasn't built for the purposes that we use automobiles for. It was built to move artillery, not carry passengers. But yes, it is the first car.

Lots of info and debate about that online. The definition of what is considered an "automobile" is very subjective, so who or what was "first" depends on whom you ask and which criteria you use.

I DO TOO!

The French copy which is quite exact of the original model cost about 590 000€ ( 615 000$)...

@@philippeevrard7686 Damn. Pretty costly for something that goes 2 mph & lacks brakes.

@@nspcrazy1122this replica was to built and test the first car of the world because no one knows exactly of what it was able. The price was in two parts : 400 000€ for the studies and 190 000€ for the hardware.

@@philippeevrard7686 The first car was invented in 548 in China & was wind-powerred.

you dont say

Yes,the Dutch did it for fun,to build a sail car,for the beach in 1620. But this is the first real car.

It’s a truck

Don't ever let an uneducated American tell you that Ford invented the automobile. Vive la France!

Don't worry, I won't. But Ford never claimed to have invented the car. He didn't claim to have invented the assembly line either. Their are some ignorant people who have made those claims though.

You are right! It ticks me off how even PBS documentaries on the history of technology don't just jump past Cugnot, they fly over Benz too, and go straight to Ford. There were numerous automakers in business long before Ford opened his company.

Ford didn't invent the automobile. What he invented was the assembly line which is used for many things. Ignorant Americans don't realize that.

Ford did not invent the assembly line, or the moving assembly line. His innovation was to use the moving assembly line to build cars. Otherwise, the only thing he can take credit for is building cars that could be sold for much lower prices than his competitors.

Probably 2 or 3 to pull that 800kg cannon

YEEEHAAAAARRRRR

A pre revolution French flag

I think the cannon functions as a counterbalance.

Everything you say is true, but it did move under its own power, and that makes it the first automobile. The first of anything is usually pretty crumby.

It is a replica.

:D:D:D

12mph downhill😅

It is, but it wasn't supposed to be fast, and it was the first car.

@@Xenderman agreed. It was made around the 1700s. And it was the first automobile. So it didn't go as fast as you expected. At least its a automobile and its still impressive though!
