Where was leonardo da vinci born

It traces to folio 812r of the Atlantic Codex, one of greatest collections of Leonardo da Vinci’s sketches and studies.

The Automobile is a sketch of a cart, complete with its inner workings. The sketch is of extreme importance considering it depicts the plan of the first ever self-propelled vehicle in the world, confirming Leonardo da Vinci as the inventor of the earliest form of automobile or robot.

The sketch ranks at the very top of Leonardo da Vinci’s several innovations related to transportation and locomotion.

Leonardo da Vinci's sketch is of an open top three-wheeler, capable of motion without being pushed. The sketch is scaled to a cart measuring 1.68 meters long and 1.49 meters wide (or 5 foot 6 inches by 4 foot 11 inches).

The dominating feature of the sketch is two big coiled leaf springs on either side of the cart, with its shape bearing a close resemblance to a crossbow’s arms.

The cart is depicted to run on clockwork, powered by the coiled springs
