The first half of the 19th century saw great progress in steam vehicle design, and by the 1850s it was viable ...
The first experimental steam-powered cars were built in the 18th and 19th centuries, but it was not until after Richard Trevithick had developed the use of high-pressure steam around 1800 that mobile steam engines became a practical proposition.
