The beginning of the 20th century was an economic turning
point in the automobile industry, in the United States, this
sector was becoming increasingly important for society and
governments. Detroit became the first capital for early companies like
Oldsmobile. In the course of 1900, Benz developed into one of
the most important manufacturers with an annual production
of 2,500 units.

The importance of the later years fell to Henry Ford with the
mythical Model T, which went into mass production on August
12, 1908, one of the first steps towards more universal access
to the automobile. The sales process, as well as the expansion of the
infrastructure of the automobile industry, drove forward by
leaps and bounds because by 191, 60,000 vehicles had already
been sold in the United States, most of them with steam or
electricity. During this time, the legal problems of patents for
internal combustion engines began, in which Henry Ford won a
historic lawsuit in this regard.
