seriously
there's *no* right answer to this. It's the same for the telephone, television, light bulb and many more beside.
But his statement suits its purpose. Which just goes to prove that semantics and multiple choice answers are your friends when speech-writing. Nothing more, dearie.

Actually I disagree, there is a right answer
History and patents decide who invented what, rightly or wrongly. I could quite easily fraudulently claim to have invented the iPhone however I have no legal proof that I did so. That is why legally recognised patents are used to determine who has the right to claim an invention. The person who gets their application approved first wins that right, rightly or wrongly and for the sakes of this argument the inventor of the first auto mobile using an internal combustion engine was most certainly a German.
