The Secret Life of the Car
Cars started to become popular in the 1890s. Their success was partly due
to the bicycle, which had given people a taste for a personal means of
transport. It was also due to Daimler's high speed engine, the first
internal combustion engine to be small enough not to make a vehicle
ridiculously cumbersome.
