Georges RIBEILL, From Pneumatics to Highway Logistics: André Michelin, Instigator of the "Automobile Revolution ": Part II. The engineer André Michelin (1853-1931, well-known rubber tire manufacturer, understood very early on that the development of the automobile would depend on a much larger system, which he helped to formalize by means of various innovations. And indeed he can truly be called the inventor of the "highway system," through his creation of methods for marking and finding roads, and by giving priority to the development of a service network (hotels and garages) for the motorist and his car.
