Sometimes it is good to ask yourself questions like who was the first individual or company that rented a car? We really don't know but even if the question seems a little anecdotic, it is useful because it leads you to investigate and learn about our past, the economy of our society, its technological advances over time, and so on.

In the case of cars and vehicles, understanding their evolution is useful to understand also in which way inventions shape our world. Not so long ago, just a century, cars had already appeared on the scene but were seen as odd, expensive toys for the rich and powerful. Nobody imagined that they would replace the horse - which had been the single most important transportation system in the world for thousands of years - would be almost completely replaced.

A lot of people lost incredibly lucrative possibilities just because they were unable to see what was going on, and just a few like Daimler, Benz, Ford, the Dodge brothers and some others grasped the opportunity and built immense commercial empires; so there is a lesson here.

Then, over some decades many amenities and accessories appeared in cars and land vehicles of all sorts. Some of these things are today taken for granted, like seat belts, but at the time of their appearance they were either ignored for a while or even ridiculed as unnecessary equipment, depending on who was talking.

Today, the development of cars and vehicles in general is oriented towards the accomplishment of more efficient ways of doing things and having a lesser impact in our environment. Car manufacturers are trying to create new engine types using clean energy sources and saving on materials in order to avoid further depletion of our natural resources.
