Horseless carriage is a term for early automobiles; at the time it was common that carriages were pulled by animals, typically horses, but the automobiles were not. [1][2] In 2010 the term was compared to other transitional terms like Cordless phone and wireless phone.[3] They are cases in which a new technology is described by what it does not have, compared to an older technology.[4] Horseless carriages are noted for their similarity to horse-drawn carriages, but instead with some type of motor; some features of carriages include a high-center of gravity and tiller-steering.[5]
The 1896 Armstrong horseless carriage was noted as an early hybrid vehicle, in the case electric with combined electric motor with battery and gasoline fueled internal-combustion engine.[6]
In 1893, Frank Duryea is reported to have made the first horseless carriage trip on U.S. roads in Springfield, Massachusetts, traveling 600 yards before.[7] He went on to found the first U.S. car company with his brother, the Duryea Motor Wagon Company. [8]
Horseless carriages from the turn of 19th to 20th century participated in a re-creation of the first London, UK auto-show in April 2016.[9]
