The first internal combustion engines were invented in 1794, while the first production motor vehicle was in 1885. Even if technology exponentially increases, there could still be some time before we find the best application for it.

THAT BEING SAID, the application of the internal combustion engine makes me think about a Douglas Adam's quote: “In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”
