It shows what a True Genius Nicolas -Joseph Cugnot really was! The tragedy was thar whilst his "Fardier" was a technical Tour de Force due to the intriguing at the court of King Louis XV it became a Political Failure. Thankfully in 1799 when the Paris Arsenal was being cleaned out Lucien Bonaparte realised what the partial dismantled and derelict 'Fardier ' was in Historical terms and he ensured it's protection.

yes the legend is false, it really worked! The accident was only due to a mistake, the machine did start and run itself to hit a wall, not that it was so uneasy to drive ( finally so slow at 4km/h, hard to have crash it so slowly)

This is a copy of the orginal "first automobile." The original “fardier” is presently on display at the CNAM - Musee des Arts et Metiers in Paris. It is in fairly good condition; some parts were replaced in the 19 th century. It is a museum piece and deserves the best of care. It is impossible to run the “fardier”, even after some fine tuning, the wheels are very fragile. This one is in the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum in Florida.... It is a beautiful work built to the exact scale.

Look up the history of this machine's inventor. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot was the inventor of this machine. While this is a replica of what he himself built this proved his concept worked. This machine was invented just before the fall of King Louis XVI. Unfortunately this was a case of yet again a great inventor getting shafted about as hard as Tesla got it. His pension was removed from him after the french Revolution where he wound up broke and penniless and forced to live in exile in Belgium. Napoleon did acknowledge his contribution to France and welcomed him back in his last days. This actually does give France a Technical first and sadly for France is the shameful treatment of a man who gave them progress in a nation claiming to be progressive. We would not have the modern conveniences of transportation of this day from Railroad to Cars and EVEN SHIPPING AND AIRCRAFT without this proof of concept from so long ago. Damn it, France had a man almost the equal of Tesla's brilliance and look at how he went down... Let it not be said no good deed goes unpunished. We witness this every day anyways.

Hahaha. No. The cannon is the point of this vehicle! It is replica of cugnot's "gun carriage." It is claimed to be the first steam powered vehicle, and as usual, the new technology was for the military. You might think a horse and cart would be a more practical way of moving cannon, but horses got scared in battle and could be unpredictable.

Le principe d'un véhicule automobile (donc qui peut se déplacer seul, par ses propres moyens) à vapeur avait déjà été décrit par le belge Ferdinand Verbiest en 1668. Bien entendu il s'agissait plus "d'une attraction" que d'un véhicule utile (voire utilitaire) comme l'est le Fardier.

Рулевые механизмы, передачи и даже разделение двигателя и движетеля еще только предстаяло изобрести.

today it would, yes:) Cannon transportation was the original and only purpose of this vehicle when it was build in 1769. The idea was to save resources in manpower and horses in warfare. To transport those heavy cannons you would need many horses and some more for the Lafette of the cannon, plus people and hay and water for the horses. With this Truck the horses would be free for the cavallerie and the men could serve as soldiers. (Edit: sorry i haven't seen your question is 8 years old, i just found the video today)
