World's first car journey

 The world's first car journey took place in 1888.

🔹 Repetition: German engineer Karl Benz invented the world's first petrol-powered car (Benz Patent-Motorwagen – 1886).

🔹 First passenger: His wife Bertha Benz made the first long-distance car journey in history on August 5, 1888.

🔹 Journey:

Mannheim (Germany) → Pforzheim (her mother's house).

Approximately 106 kilometers (66 miles).

Without a driver or guide, she drove the vehicle herself.

🔹 Significance:

To get petrol on the way, Bertha bought a fuel called "ligroin" from a pharmacy at the time.

When the car had mechanical problems, she fixed some of them herself (brake leather, fuel pipe, etc.).

This journey proved to the world that the car was a "reliable means of transport". 

🔹 Result:

After that, Karl's invention received great recognition.

Even today, the historical route from Mannheim to Pforzheim in Germany is preserved under the name “Bertha Benz Memorial Route”.

👉 That is, the world's first car journey refers to the 106-kilometer journey made by Bertha Benz in 1888. 🚗✨
