  1. I definitely agree that the invention helped people save a lot of time. The invention of the automobile was definitely an important thing because of the world's ever-changing ways of traveling. People such as Karl Benz, Gottleib Daimler and Armand Peugeot forever changed the way we look at traveling by going above and beyond what had been invented.
