The car, however, provide that the train does imperfect: a full range of movement and a new sense of freedom. It allows its occupants to stop when they want. Most car owners are concentrated in Paris, so that the car is quickly seen as a way to go on an adventure away from the capitale. Early on, the idea of ​​"tourism" is invented. Ambrosini Luigi even wrote: "The ideal vehicle is one that has the freedom of the old wheelbarrow, which nonchalant independence of the pedestrian. Everyone can go fast.
