A brief history of traffic development
At first, humans tamed some animals, such as horses and donkeys, as riding tools or driving forces (such as carriages). At the same time, sedan chairs and sailboats powered by wind have coexisted with animal-drawn vehicles as means of transportation for a long time.

Human, animal and wind-driven vehicles have occupied most of human history. It was not until 1769 that james watt invented the steam engine that the development of human vehicles entered the stage of rapid development. In just a few hundred years, human beings can not only go to heaven (airplanes, space shuttles, rockets), but also go to sea (submarines), and technology is changing with each passing day.

Evolution process:

In the early days, people didn't have the term "vehicle". At that time, people mainly visited each other on foot. So at that time, science and technology, politics, economy and so on were very underdeveloped. After all, two places far away can't communicate well, and people can't communicate and integrate, so the development is extremely slow.

Later, after people's intelligence level was significantly improved, animal-drawn vehicles such as horse-drawn carriages appeared, which was also a "huge" leap in the history of vehicles, and also promoted the exchanges between tribes and between the ruling and opposition parties, forming a virtuous circle in a small scale.

Soon after, water vehicles gradually formed, but the rapid development of vehicles was also used in the battlefield. During the Three Kingdoms period, every war gathered top chariots and vehicles (but no matter how advanced, it was only a slight difference between good horses and bad horses).

In the so-called "semi-mechanical age", the bicycle was invented as a practical tool at that time, but it was not as strong and easy to ride as modern times, but the claws of war did not let go of the bicycle. After several years of evolution, during World War II, Germany once set up a "bicycle field company" equipped with advanced weapons such as rocket launchers, which also played a certain role in the war.
