The world’s first modern auto-mobile was developed by the German engineer Karl Benz. On January 29, 1886, he secured the patent for his “motorwagen,” a date now recognised as the official birth of the auto-mobile.
However, these early vehicles were essentially open-air “horseless carriages.” Because they travelled at very low speeds and shared the road with few others, glass protection wasn’t considered a priority. To defend against wind, rain, road debris, and insects, drivers and passengers relied on a single piece of equipment: a pair of simple goggles. This rudimentary eyewear was the original “wind-shield,” serving as the only barrier between the traveller and the elements.
